I'm seeing a lot of newbie drivers doing this lately

I see them too. Why do they do it ? I think one big reason why is that they think they've shut down the right lane by parking on the shoulder. It's reserved for them now , with a virtual velvet rope.
Hmm... I wonder where they got that stupid idea....

 

Wow.

 

I wouldn't even have myself in such a situation in the first place and never have been in it. I'm usually driving less than 60 most of the time so it would give me lots of time to figure out what I would do.

 

I assume/hope that previous posts have mentioned that slowing down is acceptable, also.

Depends on the state law, and here’s a list:

I'm having a real problem with Louisiana State Police who have decided the best way to monitor traffic is by sitting on the shoulder with no active flashers; WTH. This isn't a one off trooper either, it seems to be policy throughout the ranks. Traffic in the granny lane is getting into the habit of maintaining their lane. Not too sure about how this will turn out.

 

What’s the 20, on a real driver?

 

Right of way is not what most people think it is.

How about stepping on your brakes.

 

We get it. You hate large trucking companies and their silly trucks that are governed to a safe speed.

What you are complaining about, I NEVER see personally. More worried about flatbed Bob in the Pete passing me at 80 around a corner while we are going down a 6% grade so he can get home and have a beer.
