Walk It Through: The Left Lane

A slow car in the passing lane, a driver behind, a signal for the last 100 feet, and a 70 mile interstate.

On the interstate, a driver settles into the left lane below the speed of traffic, with a line of cars behind.

Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.

Ordinary interstate driving. Reckless driving, a speed trap in a school zone, and a commercial truck's rules are not worked through here.

A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
