I was raised in New Jersey and when I was old enough to drive, I was taught to stay in the right lane unless I was passing.

As a matter of fact, I remember very distinctly the signs posted on highways said to "Keep Right Except To Pass."

This should be a law in every state. As a matter of fact, it is simple common courtesy to keep right. When I am trying to pass and there is a car in front of me in the left lane driving as though he was on a Sunday sightseeing tour, it really pi**es me off!

I've never understood the need for someone to drive the left-hand lane.
