When 301 is congested, a driver should not expect the road to magically open for him. The left lane is not a "drive as fast as I want" lane. There are posted speed limits. Drivers who ignore the limit are dangerous.
They absolutely are. And both law enforcement and insurance company data show that it is the SLOW driver that is far more dangerous than the speeders. Stay in the right lane except to pass.
