That being said, way too many travel TOO fast in the left lane around here. If someone switches into the passing lane and the oncoming SUV is doing 80+ mph (in a 55) that SUV is going to lay into the brakes, or weave into the middle lane. I think people forget the difference between a passing lane and a go as fast you want lane. There's a speed limit for a reason and the cops generally will only spot you 10 mph over it. 20+ mph over the limit and you are creating a dangerous condition. Sure some drivers are experienced but my anecdotal experience is that the more experience a driver in the area of crash avoidance skills, the less likely they are to be driving that fast in the first place. An experienced driver gives himself a buffer in all directions. Speeding in the passing lane means you only have one escape, moving to the right and that's if there's a gap when you need it.

Don't worry about me or my tickets, just stay the hell over to the right if you aren't passing someone.
