Do not hold up a long queue of traffic, especially if you are driving a large or slow moving vehicle. Check your mirrors frequently, and if necessary, pull in where it is safe and let traffic pass.

Anyone agree/disagree (or just bored by the whole subject!).

Great idea - and you'd also accept the 55mph speed limit that goes with it?
I thought not.........

55 is only on some freeways...many are higher (65/70) and you can still legally pass on the right (and yes my understanding is, it is the law).
California Rules -
"Drive in the lane with the smoothest flow of traffic. If you can choose among three lanes, pick the middle lane for the smoothest driving. To drive faster, pass, or turn left, use the left lane. When you choose to drive slowly or enter or turn off the road, use the right lane."
