Slow traffic keep right. And some of you "left lane campers," "self-appointed police officers," and "road hogs" should just go ahead and exit the highway (which may actually mean, although I realize this notion must be mighty frightening to some of you, pushing down on the accelerator just a bit in order to--get this--keep your automobile moving forward and make it possible for you to get somewhere, eventually, instead of just camping out on the off ramp where you would either, one, inconvenience and aggravate everyone behind you or, two, get hit by another vehicle).
Police officers have the authority, and with good reason, to give tickets for violations on the road. "Left-lane campers" do not. Dangerous driving includes driving too fast and driving too slow. (I learned the latter part from my conservative driver's ed teacher in Texas when the law allowed everyone to drive 70 miles per hour on the highway.) But sitting in the left-hand lane and deliberately blocking the flow of traffic for mile after mile by driving 5 miles below the speed limit is anti-social, irrational behavior from people who cannot comprehend the rules of the road or can comprehend those rules yet do not play well with others. You can move over to the right lane and allow someone to pass you. This action doesn't make you a loser or place anyone "ahead" of you.
If you live (and try to drive) in Oregon, for example, you will probably want to read this.
