It's about time but doubt will make much difference. There will always be those that ride that lane and think they are enforcing the speed limit by keeping others back. I'd be suprised if the FHP will really enforce it with a ticket, probably just a warning.

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.

Guess you didn't read the whole thread.

Behind the Times
 

Because of work and also vacations I have driven a lot in Europe and you will find very few driving in the left lane. We use to tell new drivers from the states to only use the lane when passing as if you see a little spot in your mirror it may be a car going over 100 and they will come right up on your bumper and flash the lights to get out of the lane. Also, they are much more attuned to using their "Blinkers" when they move lane to lane. We are sloppy. I would never think of changing a lane in Europe and not use the turn signals. It is my opinion that drivers in Europe are much better than US drivers. Just an opinion from driving a lot in both places.:ho:

Drivers who don't use signals are so confusing and drivers who break first and then signal have it backwards. My all time favorite is the 4 way stop where someone doesn't know it's their turn, prompting everyone to try to figure out who's next and then decide to go.

100% correct without a doubt. There are just too many inconsiderate drivers in the USA and far too many with head inserted in places hard to see from.

Talk about clueless; One time while driving in NYC the older man in front of me kept pointing up. I kept looking up to see what he was pointing at and shrugging my shoulders and shaking my head, and he kept pointing up until he finally just gave up. About two hours later it hit me, he was giving me the finger through his rear view mirror. Still don't know why, but it was an effective way to deal with it. Still makes me smile when I think about it.

I'm from NJ and would make a couple a trips down south every year. I don't know how I missed this law but I almost got a ticket last year for staying in the right lane when a driver was getting ticket on the shoulder. I thought moving over to the left was just a courtesy. And if someone was blocking the left lane, it's my call. Up north the turnpike and parkway are packed so you stay in place as best you can. I learned my lesson.

Dating back to when I passed my driver's ed class in Indiana, I was instructed that the rules say: "Stay to the right except to pass". An amazingly complicated concept!

This pet peeve of mine started in CT on the Merritt Parkway, (a two lane parkway). Most drivers stay in the left lane to avoid oncoming cars from the entrances. Some don't have a clue the are holding up traffic or what is going around them, and the other half doesn't care. I have notice some people that stay in left lane keeping pace with a car alongside themselves, with no intention of passing, of trying to move over to the right.

A LEO person informed me that passing on the right is against the law.

I think LEO would not be able to give enough tickets to change this type of driving style. It is, what it is!

Repeating the above statute.... Because some people don't read everything.
If you're on a two or more lane Highway, you have to move over if somebody wants to pass you, regardless of what speed you are doing.

Passing on right is legal in FL.

Florida Drivers Handbook - Passing

Passing on the right is only legal when there are two or more lanes of traffic moving in the same direction or the vehicle you are passing is making a left turn. Pulling off the roadway to pass on the right is against the law.

I read all the responses to this post but yet when I travel down any of the four lane roads here in the villages Morris, 466, etc., most of the traffic is in the left lane! They must not be readers of this forum. The law should apply to middle lane huggers on 3 lane roads also. If you're getting passed on the right on the interstate, get out of the center lane!!
