We need more regulation on drivers who clog up the highways!

In the majority of the United States, it's law that slower drivers stay in the right hand lane of a multilane highway. The farthest left lane is for faster drivers and is an attempt to keep traffic flowing smoothly. The faster that left lane is moving, the faster people get where they need to be and stop polluting the air.

It seems more and more there are slow people in the fast lane with cars lined up behind them... just putzing along either not paying attention, or scowling at you in their rear view mirror because they know you are back there cussing at them. I have seen many of these people intentionally sitting in the fast lane just trying to prove some point they have in their head and believe is right. Maybe it's because they think no one should ever go faster then the speed limit so they are entitled to stay there as long as they go the speed limit?

I soooo don't agree with that. You never know if someone is speeding due to a life threatening emergency. And frankly, I don't think it's anyone's place to take it upon themselves to hold up an entire lane of traffic for whatever silly reason they may have.

These people that stop up the fast lane cause major congestion and accidents. The people behind them get mad and have to weave in and out of the other lanes just to get around them. And for some reason, I don't understand why, if the left lane slows down... all the lanes slow down... because people are too panicky.

I believe these fast lane slow pokes are a major contributing factor to traffic congestion, lengthened drive times, and air pollution.
