    I can’t find it now, but the local newspaper asked the State Patrol about it some years ago. They were clear: They cannot issue tickets for “obstructing traffic” for driving at the limit in any lane.

    It appears that the conflict described by the sheriff is that he’s reluctant to call breaking the speed limit the “normal flow of traffic.”

      Why are you so hell bent on sitting in the left lane? It’s inconsiderate and creates a hazard for other drivers. Regardless of laws, if you want to police other people, go become a cop.

        Regardless of laws? Ah, so speeding is against the law, whodathunk? Funny that it’s the lawbreaker’s self-appointed duty to enforce the passing lane, which, again, isn’t a thing where I live.
