    Being in the middle lane allows for people to pass on the left and keeps the right lane clear of traffic getting on the interstate.

    "No Trucks in Left Lane" doesn't help the situation.

    To be honest, there is very little courtesy exhibited on America's highways and rampant disregard for speed limits.

    Our highways were also not engineered to handle the volume of traffic on them.

    Express non-truck toll lanes through metro areas don't help either.

    If your truck is governed, like most trucks are, the left lane is a flustercluck waiting to happen. And there's usually very little wait time.

    The lanes actually count from the inside out so the median lane is always #1.

    Because the idiot 4 wheelers slow merge and I can't pass them and I get tired of slowing down for them

    My luck, I’d have the one coming in alongside a jersey wall with a phone in front of his face.
