Here in Florida that is enforced with a vengeance. Do not get caught in that left lane when trucks are restricted to the right 2. That ticket will hurt
GOVERNED AT 65 mph

Excuse me its 70 between louisville and bowling green signs all over the place !
All up and down 71 in oh and ky and they aint only 55 zones l. -
I said in many places, not just that area. If you were referring to the right lane on 65 south, I can certainly see why no one drives it from the last time I was through there a year ago.

Umm most places truck are restricted to the right 2 lanes and the fine is big I guess you misunderstood we was talking about slower traffic keeping right instead of middle and that is not enforced much anywhere I have noticed I am sure somewhere there is a cop that likes to use it but I just dont see much enforcement.
Point is if you getting passed on both sides you are defently in the wrong lane and need to get to your right.realsupatrucka Thanks this. -
If I blow your doors off .....just holler over the radio and I'll help u put them back on .......10 4
stay in the right lane if u not doing the maximum speed limit.... you want to drive slow so if u come up on another slow driver...yall drive slow together in the right lane...stay out the hammer lane and the middle lane...u belong in the right lane...truth be told u dont belong on the interstate. ..take a state highway u you want to bs down the way...
then everyone is happy. ..u not getting tailgated and cussed out...simple solution
I think ppl drive slow just to piss other ppl off -
If I am in the passing lane, it is because the vehicle in the right lane is slower than me. There is absolutely no reason to tailgate me when I pass. I assure you, it will do nothing to speed me up and might even cause me to run slower.
There is a maximum and a minimum.

Okay...let me ask a question. Say you have two exact same trucks carrying the exact same load on the exact same route. One truck is governed at 65 and runs 65 all day...the second truck is governed at 75 and runs 65 all day except when necessary to pass slower vehicles...the one governed at 65 runs 1450 rpms, pretty much topped out...wouldn't the other one governed at 75 get better fuel mileage since rpms would run lower at 65?

if u get your trucked played with right....mines run 1500 rpm exactly at 70 mph
-
What are you doing the minimum for? To sight see? Haven't you seen the country enough? I do drive like a professional just with some pace...ill let u on the interstate ill get over if u on the shoulder. ..ill even tell if its something wrong with your truck...heck ill even tell u not to pull up at the fuel take your time ill wait

I am not driving the minimum. I drive 62 to 66. Well within the legal limits on all interstates. I pay taxes that provide the interstate and highways just like you do.
By the same token, you should never be in any other lane climbing a hill if you cannot do the legal maximum speed limit. You might slow a 4 wheeler down.
When you own the interstate, then you can tell people how to drive. Myself, I just deal with it.
