After reading the news articles of June 2013 stating the law is to get slowpoke drivers to move to the right lane if going 10 mph+ under the speed limit, I think it is wrong to claim the left lane is a "passing lane only".
Many times it's necessary to keep going in the left lane at the speed limit or above, because the right lane is a solid string of vehicles backed up behind a vehicle or two going under the speed limit. How does it help to force everybody out of the left lane and into the right lane that is clogged up?
The left lane should be regarded as a "thru lane" when the other one is slow!
