The law cuts both ways. Get the slow guy out of the fast lane much easier to catch the fast guy in the left lane.

Huh? It IS a law so stopping these idiots that camp out in the left lane IS pulling over someone who is breaking the law. It's not any different than pulling over a speeder or someone who is weaving in and out of traffic. Idiots driving slow in the left lane holding up traffic are probably more dangerous than someone driving 5-10 MPH over the speed limit because of the problems they cause with traffic flow.

I'll try out that *55 thing next time I see one of these idiots. It will probably be on Saturday when I'm driving over to Stillwater for an OSU basketball game. They've had the signs up on the highway to tell people to stay out of the left lanes if they're not passing someone so it's nice to finally see them enforcing it.

My biggest pet peeve. I call it the I-5 syndrome although it is basically everywhere now. (I-70 on a ski day..prob cali transpalants)

The left lane is the slowest by 5-15 mph. Every freaking tard rolls from the on ramp at 40, eases up to 65 and pulls to the furtheset left lane (signals optional, no mirror/head check). Stays there riding the other tard's bumper and chain react brakes at every corner and rise.

Because of divine revelation apparently, does not more right again (despite move right signs, hov lane, blinking high beams, emergency vehicles...) until *just* before their exit, when they jihad three lanes right at the last 100 m.

Uh, everybody knows Toronto cops only pull people over for speeding (or "racing"), and harass children to take their dope and beer.

I was young not so long ago...

These signs are up all over the place - but ignored. Laws are only effective if enforced.
