• Speaking as an American here… could we NOT park cars in the left lane. I’ve seen enough habits of drivers in other countries where the left lane is exclusively for passing, it’s so simple and superior for traffic but Americans be dumb selfish shits behind the wheel.

      PARKING in the left lane? The hell? Isnt parking in any lane forbidden? Especially on a highway?

      Left is for passing. You may not overtake in right lane. At least that’s how it works in Sweden. Thus if left lane is slow, right is slower.

        I like this in concept. The issue is that we often get asshats who want to go slow in the left lane.

        When my options are to go 5 under the speed limit, or pass on the right, I’m passing on the right every time.

          You don’t understand, I have to turn left in 25 km and what if I can’t get back into my lane after I let you pass and I miss my turn. I’m not a confident driver so I am going to do what’s safest and best for me and everyone else can just accept it. I’m going fast enough at 5km over the posted speed limit and you can just slow down, life isn’t a race unless I need it to be.
