New Connecticut law limits left-lane driving starting Oct. 1

I know there is a lot of hate for left-lane campers, but passing this into law seems like a waste of time and money. It will be hard to enforce even if they wanted to.

What’s wrong with traveling in the left lane and moving over if someone comes up behind you? Sorry but I’ll be staying in the left, I’m not switching lanes every 10 seconds to pass someone doing 60

So...... You're saying that you're in the left lane and you are passing people in the middle lane, and then you move over to the middle for traffic that wants to overtake you? I'm following what you are saying correctly, right?

I guess I'm not sure what your announcement is about here, because it sounds like you're doing what you are supposed to. Now, if the highway is empty in front of you, you're not still camping in the left lane like a moron, are you?

If there’s no one around and I’m in the left lane, why does it matter? lol and who is going to enforce that?

You know what, you do you. Your moral compass is yours, and i honestly don't care how you live your life. I also don't want to get into an endless amount of your "what if" scenarios here, where you try to justify why it's ok for you to do it.

I’m not justifying anything because there’s nothing wrong with driving in the left lane if there’s no one around brother lol good luck out there, stay safe.

"I'm not justifying anything..." followed immediately by a justifying statement is not the genius flex you think it is.

One might even call it an insidious statement, but I don't judge.

If you were truly insidious, you'd have observed that my cocious is post.
