You don't drive much, do you? Often you have to drive in the left lane in
rush just to go above 20 mph.

So what about the people doing 40 in the middle lane or 90 in the right
lane. Do we let them go because they aren't in the left lane? Personally,
I prefer to drive in the lane just to the right of the furthest left, but
sometimes because of jackasses going either to slow, or tailgating, i slip
over into the left lane. And here in the great pacific Northwest most of
our diamond/carpool lanes are to the far left, so should we ticket the
family of five too?

No the people that should get the tickets are the ones weaving in and out
of traffic, not maintaining a constant lane. NHTSA bulletins have shown
that they are the dangerous drivers. Everytime you make an unneccesary
lane change, you're taking a risk. After all an accident is something that
can't be avaioded. most freeway pile ups can be avioded, if the yahoos
would quit making sudden and usually unsignalled lane changes.
