Most if not all states I've driven-all 50 at one time or another-have signs stating-keep right Except to pass. Willing to bet it was on the written exam for your first license. Kind of like the cell phone laws-they DO NOT get enforced very much. People settle into the left lane in A M and PM "rush" hours out of habit. Down here folks during the day cruise the left lane cuz they can!

I've had folks pull into my lane in an attempt to slow me down cause they believe I was exceeding the speed limit.

Talked with a LOT of L E Os over the years-you are supposed to yield the left lane to faster traffic-even if they are exceeding the posted speed limit. The Riders and Drivers on this board know-the "average" driver can neither lead follow nor get the HELL outa the way!

RIDE SAFE.
