I swear I think the driving instructors in Louisiana high schools were
British! Not only do they use the left lane on the freeway, they ALL hug the curb on the left side of the median when doing a U-turn... dumb, dumb, dumb!!

Here is the relevant law for NY: http://assembly.state.ny.us/leg/?cl=128&a=49 While it's clear about not driving on the left side of a road (i.e. in the wrong lane), and it does indicate that one should pass on the left where possible (although it also allows for passing on the right), it does not say "stay right except to pass". There's nothing in the NY law that says you can't park your ass in the left lane of a divided highway and do 55 mph till the cows come home. -- Mike Smith |

No common > sense, lad? No, he's just a MFFY driver. (Me first, fsck you.) Drive right, pass left, leave speed enforcement to the professionals. It's called "common courtesy", which seems to be quite uncommon. E.P. |

I never said *I* drive that way, or that I think people *should* drive that way, I was simply citing the relevant law in New York State. Jump to conclusions much? -- Mike Smith |
