Left lane slow pokes now illegal in Illinois!
Really. No joke. Here's the article:

The "slowpoke" law has been in effect sometime now in MO. The history shows that Corvettes,Mustangs et' all are being ticketed for speeding. Blue Hairs in Lincolns, Caddies, and Mercury Marquis doing 53mph in the left lane in a 70mph zone, nada, Zip, NOTHING! I welcome any verifiable truth to the contrary. In defense of the IL.Troopers I will say that I got pulled over by one. After some banter, I said "everyone was speeding" he said "Yea,but you were passing em'" I shut up and signed the warning.

The law was enacted because of Wisconsin drivers who never go over 55MPH
(even if it is posted 65) and never leave the left hand lane. Wisconsin drivers drive 55MPH and swear at Illinois drivers in their own state, for going too fast! In Wisconsin drivers ed classes, they never teach the concept of, slower traffic keep right... |

I don't have a major problem with the concept- except where the slower driver is already doing the limit (OK 5-10 over), and someone is behind them. Some years ago, I had to get down South (in the UK). So I was on the M1 (main N/S drag in England) & was on my FZR600, doing about 120 in the extreme right lane (i.e. same as the extreme left lane in the UK). I suddenly found myself tailgated by an M5 with headlights flashing & horn going & fist shaking etc. I let him go & saw him later - looked like he was being escorted to the local lock-up :-) So, if I'm out in my C-5 & someone wants to go faster, I let them go find all the speed traps for me :-). |

I had the pleasure of driving on highways in France this year and it was so
cool. No one, not a soul ever, spent more than the time to quickly pass in the fast lane . They even managed to figure out three lanes, using slow in right, fast in middle and pass in left, without a problem. No body waits on anyone.
