I understand the reasoning for the requirement but, boy, I've also experienced quite a few hair raising, hold-your-breath icidences of drivers suddenly trying to comply with it.
Even with the relative lack of hills and curves on Fl highways, there seem to be enough long sight visibilty problems so this can cause too-quick lae changes or speed reductions (a nice way of saying the guy in front of you just slammed on his brakes when he found out he couldn't move to the left lane)

It is entrapment and it should be outlawed. If they were conducting a stop or had an emergency I can see another cop car enforcing it, but to be stopped in order to just ticket people is wrong at every level.
I pretty much agree with that. I only do it when I am the secondary Officer on a traffic stop.
