precisely, dissident. Of course, upholding such a law in heavy traffic wouldn't be smart, and that kind of stuff just devaluates the law.

Nope-- What happens in any type of heavier traffic is that faster drivers are pretty much always on the left since they are almost always passing someone. If a still faster driver catches up with you, you know you have a responsibility to get to the right and let them pass.

In heavy heavy traffic, none of this will matter since nobody can go fast. In really light traffic you can pass at will but everyone should return to the right each time

OMFG. This is the most annoying ****ing thing ever.

I swear to God, in 23 years of living in Montreal I never once saw somebody have to come to a full stop on an entrance ramp in order to merge onto the highway.

I move to Maryland and it seems like nobody ****ing knows how to drive. People are afraid to merge, nobody yields when you put on your turn signals, people drive side by side at the exact same speed down the ****ing freeway...

If you are driving the speed limit the chances are you're doing at least 15 miles an hour less than I want to be doing, so get the **** out of my way.

We need this law in California except in the big cities during rush hour it would be unenforcable.

the problem we have is if you get in the right lane to let someone pass, you may never be able to get in the left lane again. Because traffic is so heavy, and even when it actually does go 65 mph, people still ride bumper to bumper. So then you are stuck behind some slow moving semi.

IN that type of traffic I don't know that there is any solution since obviously everybody is behind somebody and nobody can move much

It's really something that needs to be enforced on the open highways, not in the cities.
