The Far Side comic strip - which is not available for posting on the Web due to Gary Larson hating such things - once had a strip that showed the three levels of hell as follows:

1. Murderes
2. Rapists
3. People who drive slow in the fast lane

I couldn’t agree with him more. If you are in the left lane and someone behind you wants to go faster than you - move out of the way.

"If you are in the left lane and someone behind you wants to go faster than you - move out of the way."

I've always thought that that was a great idea. Then I can pull back out behind him and increase my speed to just below his.

With that rabbit in front of me, he'll trip any radar trap before I get to it.

Run, rabbit, run ...

I am normally in complete agreement, however, southern Georgia
and Florida during “the season”, that would be when there are two lanes both full of folks going South to FL and you are exceeding the speed limit by a goodly amount.

If you allow yourself to be pushed into the right lane, by the insensitive go faster who merely wants to gain the one safety space you have given yourself between the car/suv ahead of you while you are traveling at the speed of heat, you will likely be in Ocala before you have an opportunity to regain the left lane.

NY plates are some of the worst offenders.
