Yes, I know that, "technically", the speed limit is the same for all lanes. I also know that driving faster than the speed limit is against the law. However, the highways where I live have 5 lanes and the traffic generally an average of about 10-15 mph faster than the posted speed limit. Honestly, the cops do not pay attention much unless you are driving recklessly.
Every once in a while, you will see that one person who is totally determined to drive the speed limit in the far left lane causing everyone behind them to slam on their brakes. Statistically, it has been proven that driving under the speed limit in the "passing" lane causes more accidents and is dangerous for everyone.
So why do people do this? Is it because they want to try and slow the highway down because driving faster than the speed limit invites the devil into soul? Does he/she want to be the boss? Does he/she not care? Is it a God granted American right?
Note: Does not include traffic jams...
