    If the left lane is open to trucks it doesn't bother me. I know in an area with a lot of on ramps the middle lane can be safer. But if the hammer lane is a no truck lane the slower traffic needs to keep right. I30 Through Little rock is a good example of slow trucks in the middle lane causing problems.

    Rock in the stream.... have you been studying the CREngland website? They have a whole course catalog, one of which is winter driving where they talk about 'rock in the stream' , let the fools drive around you and wreck out.

    If a driver is getting passed on the left AND on the right, if the road in front of him is fairly clear, and the traffic behind him is backed up, then THAT driver is the cause of the traffic jam and he is NOT a safe driver because he is creating an unsafe condition.
