Unfortunately, in the US, the left lane is just another lane in most
states and there is no law requiring you to pull over. Occasionally
they will post a sign for slower traffic to keep right some times but
it is usually too ambiguous to charge.
The most likely place it might draw a ticket would be in a designated
passing zone like you see in the mountains out there.
If you are just out on the interstate, I doubt you would even get a
finger wag from a cop unless you were slowing him down.
Back in the olden days in Maryland, when I was monitoring the cops in
my car, I heard the question several times "what is the statute number
for cruising in the passing lane" and the answer was always "no such
charge".


Once in a while, they do tag them. Not enough times. Impeding traffic is
the charge.

Absolutely right, and cruising along at 180+ kph is kind of cool also.


Problem is most I got was 160, and the LOOK from the wife.

Boozer? You are the f'n drunk. You even complain about your drunken son,
drinking up your hootch. Hell you can not even back up a trailer very well
after 4 years. And you comment on my driving? And if you want to see what
I used to drive at 160+ MPH, look at the first Herby movie. I am the
driver of the 64 coupe, silver corvette in the Laguna Seca race sequence.
****, you probably have problems driving 50kphh (33 mph)!!

Is riding two abreast unsafe? ;-)

Maryland uses to think so when I lived there. It was a ticket if you
were not staggered a little.

I believe the only state in which it's legal is California. That's how
they can get away with 'white
lining'.

Not legal here. But you see cops doing lots of the time. The white
lining, is not legal as you see it most of the time. Supposed to be 15 mph
or less. Not 80 mph in 70 mph traffic.

That's the way the laws read in Europe also. There's not much white
lining at 70mph over there
though.

The European drivers are very disciplined, and it makes driving there, especially on a motorcycle, a
joy. And you're right about the passing. Passing on the left is not done, and going slow in the fast
lanes is also 'ticketable' if blocking traffic.


Whoops...change 'left' to 'right'.
