I love driving in Europe. Better drivers. They know to stay in the right

lanes.


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.
