The left-lane provision is part of the 226-page House Bill 7125. It states that drivers on any road with two or more lanes in the same direction may not drive more than 10 mph slower than the posted speed limit in the left lane if they know they are being overtaken. It does not apply to drivers preparing for a left turn at an intersection.
I also confirmed this, while talking to a highway patrolman. |
Thank you for clearing this up. No one owns the road and the left lane is not reserved for speeders. Common sense is the key here. If someone comes up on me at 85 mph on the turnpike and I'm doing 75 mph I'll probably pull over if it is not an inconvenience and is safe for me to do so to me rather than having him/her tailgate and flash the headlights at me. I won't speed up to move over for him/her but I won't pace the car in the middle lane either. If I'm in the left lane I'd be passing anyway otherwise I stay in the right or middle lane.
