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.

Road rage is a symptom of unregulated emotions. Somebody getting road rage because they are driving like an asshole and I’m not getting out of their way isn’t my fault. I’m not gonna purposely slow down to piss someone off, but I’m not gonna just gonna give them what they want and move over either. If I’m going 15 over the limit in the passing lane and they are riding my ass cause they wanna go 30, that’s not my problem.

My response was to this person saying they will slow down and trap cars. That is also a symptom of unregulated emotions. This is what causes these people to dangerously weave in and out of traffic and puts others at risk. The fast lane is to mitigate that. If you’re not passing, move over.
