I got passed a lot on the right side today. The road leading in is 4 lane but the strip is solid commercial. People pulling out of gas stations and such peeling rubber to get gone. No way I'm getting in their way. Didn't want to be the meat in the sandwich between them and the car turning in in front of them.
In the first video, the driver wasn't able to move over because there were cars there. In the second video, there was a time when there were cars in the right lane and the driver would have been very close to them. Maybe they weren't comfortable climbing up someone's butt. After the vehicles exit, no idea why they didn't move over. Maybe they were tired of someone riding their rear end and just chose to ignore them. That stretch of I90 does have a ton of merging and exiting traffic so I could see why someone wouldn't want to be in the right lane.
I couldn't see it very well, but the second video, the minivan had what looked like Maine plates on. The law in Maine pretty much the same as in Massachusetts--keep right except to pass--so the van driver definitely should have known better, and should not have even entered that lane in the first place if there was no intention to overtake anyone.
And when someone is speeding, they are not obeying the law. What do you not get about the fact that BOTH are wrong and BOTH are dangerous and cause problems for other drivers on the roadways?
And it wasn't all emotion, but I'm sure you had an emotional reaction to it. And I'm pretty sure why you did.
You seem obsessed with people strictly obeying the law,if you are that concerned how about instead of perpetrating your needing to control others on motorists who might be doing 10 over the speed limit in the passing lane why not go to that part of downtown and round up all the drug pushers,prostitutes,underage drinkers, illegals etc. you could do the citizens arrest thing big time or does your brand of law enforcement only happen when you can use your vehicle to block people in the passing lane?
I'll repeat again You guys are lucky you don't drive in Sydney, Australia. California is utopia compared to Sydney. The drivers here have absolutley no clue.
Generally speaking anyone who does over 60mph on the highway (freeway) is consider a 'hoon'
The drivers here are very in-consistent, no one is flowing, everyone is doing different speeds, you have two types of people, the people doing 45mph and the high speeders doing a mighty 62mph.
In their efforts to slow people down even further, sleeping in the right lane (fast lane) is perfectly acceptable, as it discourages 'hooning'
Put it this way, when you're doing 60mph in the freeways in Sydney you are passing everyone lol
The root problem is small number of very narrow lanes. The widest freeway here has only 4 very narrow lanes. And you have to negotiate the roads with 18-wheelers who are the majority.
Reading parts of this thread, the most interesting thing is finding how many idiots take great pleasure to install dash cams in their cars/trucks so as to document what they see as the shortcomings of others while patting themselves on the back for being such virtuous drivers. I'm surprised at how many dash cam videos are out there on YouTube. Get a life, people!

Amen But you know on second thought I think I'll get two. One for my speedometer and on for the traffic. Nothing like have proof of the maniacs.

I guess dash cameras have their uses in capturing accidents or reckless activity on the road or the occasional meteor but i hardly think the police will be interested in a citizen bringing in a 30 minute loop of film showing cars in the passing lane passing cars in the slower lane.In fact what kind of person would even bother with such triviality? Oh yeah
However if the state has a keep right except to pass law and it can be documented that some one was holding up much traffic and causing people into dangerous maneuvers or perhaps being the cause of an accident as people attempt to pass the slow moving left lane camper they might be a little more interested in the evidence that camera brings to bear..
Heres a typical interstate drive up I-95,, are some of you telling me that all the people using the passing lane are in some way crazy speeders? Driving up Interstate 95 in Florida - YouTube

I travel I-95 on a daily basis. You should see what goes on in the construction zone where driving on the left is a needed safety requirements where the jerks pull over and pass way above the speed limits right by the workers. No need to show the cops. Just send them to the FDLE for review and one copy to Fox News.
