  It is, however, extremely common.  After all, should highway traffic
back up for miles due to the not-uncommon Rhode Island driver who does
50 mph in the leftmost lane?  Unfortunately, laws like that only work
if most people drive reasonably.  As more and more people drive slowly
in the lefthand lanes, it becomes less and less possible to drive safely
while obeying things like the "no passing on the right" law.
