As long as they do at or even above the speed limit, a
law-abiding-citizen has no reason to say the LLB is slowing them down.

I see them all the time. Most often it's a speed-governed 18-wheeler,
but there are also plenty oif clueless f.ck sloth 4-wheelers LLBing,

Those who don't seem to prefer the passing lane for some reason.
However, IME everyone *does* speed at least on the freeway, it is a very
rare mouthbreather who doesn't, although there are still plenty of LLBers.

My beef is that the same a.sholes who LLB at the speed limit on the
highway, do 20 MPH over on the side streets where all the kiddies are
playing.  Case in point, the troll you responded to.

LLB = "Left lane blocker"--i.e., someone who is blocking the faster/passing
traffic in the left lane.

Some go as far as to insist that even illegal speeds well over the posted
limit should be accommodated, and so a driver doing the legal speed limit in
the left lane is still considered an "LLB" by those individuals.

You certainly aren't hesitant to post your views, but you evidently are
unable to post a response when people call you on them.

Regardless of what popular opinion might be in this newsgroup: in the state
I live in, there is a combination of the Basic Speed Law and Prima Facie
speed limits referenced in the vehicle code. I also don't find those to be
unreasonable to any extent. Nor do I find the recommended following
distances to be unreasonable either, even though those following distances
are not actually written in the vehicle code.

After all--this is rec.autos.driving, NOT rec.autos.racing. So, I base all
my reasoning and points on three fundamental bases:

1) Speed limits are to be obeyed, period, until such time as the speed
limits are legally increased.
2) I am not required to break speed laws just because others do.
3) The roads are not racetracks, and my daily drives are not races to the
finish line.

Based on that--if that means I am passing traffic at 65mph in the left lane
(with the posted speed limit being 65mph), while the lane(s) to the right
are going 60 or below... even if the person behind me wants to do 100+
mph... tough! I'm still going to do 65 mph until a suitable gap is
available--a minumum of two headlights in my rearview mirror--before I merge
right. In fact, that driver behind me has an obligation to slow down and
maintain a safe following distance, since their driving at 100+ mph is
basically reckless if a 65mph passing speed is sufficient to pass slower
traffic.

Alternatively, even if I happen to be speeding (gasp!) at, say, 75mph--as
long as I am passing traffic in the left lane, I do not need to speed up or
otherwise merge right to accomodate the driver behind me who fails to
maintain a safe following distance and elects to charge me at 90mph or more.
Not until a safe gap exists where I can actually merge right will I merge
right.

In other words, I don't need anyone's permission to brake when traffic
conditions call for braking, and I'm not required to exceed the speed limit
if my driving at the posted limit is a suitable enough speed to pass slower
traffic in the right lanes. I also demand that they use a proper following
distance as given in the DMV driver handbooks, or I'm forced to double my
following distance from the car in front of me to compensate for their
unsafe and reckless driving.

So part of the reason I don't respond to those who call me out on my views
is that if it disregards the speed laws/posted limits--it isn't a valid
point to me from the start, and I won't spend the time dealing with someone
trying to validate a point that is invalid from the start. Give me a point
that starts with legal speeds, then I'll adress that point appropriately.

Are you one of those who obeyed the 55 MPH NMSL?

No,but you are required to leave the left lane open for passing.
If you won't pass,then you slow and -leave- the passing lane.

In the real world, most drivers do not obey them.

> 2) I am not required to break speed laws just because others do.

No one ever said you did, but it's safer for you to drive with the flow
of traffic.  If traffic is going 75 and you're going 70, there's no
problem (as long as you're keeping right except to pass).  If traffic is
going 75 and you're going 55, then you, not the rest of traffic, are the
problem.

> 3) The roads are not racetracks, and my daily drives are not races to the
> finish line.

Nobody said they were, but if people were really racing, we'd see
traffic going in excess of 120 mph routinely.  That is not the case.
Even in areas that are not enforced, you rarely see people going much
more than 90 mph.

That's fine unless you actually have room to move right and you remain
in the right most lane unless you're actually passing (an)other vehicle(s).

> In fact, that driver behind me has an obligation to slow down

Unless you've actually been rear ended on the highway, they have been
slowing down.

> since their driving at 100+ mph is

> traffic.

It stands to reason that you're exaggerating the speed of faster
traffic.  Typical traffic speed distribution is within ±8 to ±12 of the
median speed of traffic (for 2 standard deviations).  That means that
less than 5 percent of traffic is going less than 10 mph the median
speed and less than 5 percent is going more than 10 mph over the median
speed.  Therefore, if the median speed is 65 mph, it's highly unlikely
you'll encounter a driver going faster than 100 mph.

> Alternatively, even if I happen to be speeding (gasp!) at, say, 75mph--as

Again, you're exaggerating the other driver's speed.  If you have space
to the right, you should move into it to allow faster traffic to pass.
I've never encountered those who tailgate me while I'm passing or who
use the charging maneuver in order to intimidate me out of the passing
lane.  This is because I use the passing lane for its intended purpose
and don't spend any more time than necessary to complete my passing
maneuver.  IOW, I spend far more time in the right most lane as compared
to any other lane.

Perhaps the reason you have problems with drivers tailgating or
otherwise engaging in tactics in an effort to get you out of the passing
lane is that you're taking too long to complete your passes.

A safe driver drives in a manner such that he does not engate in
behaviors that impede others on the road.  The fact that you're having
problems with people tailgating you, and the fact that I do not shows
that the problem lies with you.

Unfortunately, it makes you look like a troll when you do that.  This is
a newsgroup where people have differing opinions.  Someone who fails to
justify or otherwise defend their views (especially when those views do
not match the majority of group participants) loses any credibility they
may have had.

That doesn't mean that you have to repeat the same thing over and over
again, but at least you should explain where you're coming from.

I have to admit, I'm somewhat disappointed. I figured the answer would be
pornographic! :)

I guess I fall into the LLB category myself. Nothing annoys me more than
being tailgated in the left lane when I'm already doing 20 MPH over the
speed limit, especially when the right lane is clear, so I tend to drop my
speed down. I'm thinking about getting a bumper sticker that says "Passing
On The Right Is Just As Illegal As Speeding, So Go For It!"

Maybe I'll add "LLB" to my sig file, kind of like the old "Merry Marvel
Marching Society" titles, like KOF or QNS :)

One tactic that would help alleviate those tailgating problems is to
remain in the right most lane unless you're actually passing other vehicles.

If I could go the speed I wanted to in the right most lane, I'd stay there.
As the highways I travel most, I-93 and NH 101, are only two lanes for most
of the distance I travel them, it can be hard to find a good lane to be in.

I guess the good news is that the Salem to Manchester widening of I-93 seems
to have jumped its last hurdle, passing the Executive Council last week.

So would I.  Of course, if there's slower traffic ahead of you, you're
free to move left to pass (after yielding as appropriate).  Once you
have finished passing, then you can move back to the right lane.

The reason I suggested it was because you mentioned that people would
tailgate you even if the right lane was *clear*.  That would indicate
that you could easily move into it to allow faster traffic to pass you
in an orderly fashion.

I've been on crowded highways (like I-81 and I-66 during congested
times).  If traffic is not free flowing (i.e., going less than 45 mph),
then KRETP (if you don't know what the acronym means, it's Keep Right
Except to Pass) becomes irrelevant.  If traffic is free flowing, but
there isn't enough space in the right lane, I just keep passing traffic
to my right.  Once there is enough space, I move back to the right lane
to allow faster traffic to pass me.

By KRETP, faster traffic does not have to weave around slower traffic.
They can easily pass everyone else on the left and traffic flow is more
orderly and safer as a result.

You do that in Mass., and you'll have to slow down to 40 at every
intersection, because most drivers use the right lane as acceleration
and deceleration lanes.

Which is why you switch over to the left (after checking your mirrors
and yielding as appropriate) and move back to the right after you finish
passing.

There's no reason why one should be restricted to driving in one lane.

You're mistaken; passing on the right is not illegal. But in CO, LLBing
is.

I've always thought passing on the right was illegal here in NH and MA on
two lane expressways & interstates. I seem to recall it was posted as such
in MA for many years.

Massachusetts law has allowed passing on the right on divided

I do not think any other states except Connecticut and New Jersey
restrict passing on the right on divided highways.

Well, I'm not old enough to remember before that. I guess I'm thinking of
the old "Keep Right Except To Pass" signs that lined every inch of I-93 back
in the 70's.

Keep right except to pass and no passing on the right are
different laws.  Massachusetts has the first and not the
second.  Connecticut has the second and not the first.
New Jersey has both.  New York has neither.

In most states, only if you are moving at least as fast as
the average speed of traffic.

An anti-LLB statute just went into effect in CO. After a period of
official warnings, state patrol was recently to begin issuing actual
citations. I haven't heard of many being issued though.

However, there was a large negative reaction from the segment of the
populace that believes they have a right to drive the speed limit in
the left lane and shouldn't have to move right as long as they're at
the limit.

The law was sponsored by a legislator who is a retired state trooper.

Not really. The law designated the left lane on multi-lane highways of
65 mph or greater as a "passing-only." Technically, you could be
ticketed for remaining in it after passing even when no one is behind
you trying to speed ahead.

I agree the challenge will be fun. I interviewed a fellow in Boulder
who makes a practice of driving the Boulder Turnpike in the left lane
at 55 expressly for the purpose of being a traffic blocker.

How f.cking ridiculous.  How do you get by in life?  Are you this

If the posted speed is 55, and you're blocking me from going faster, by

'Laura Bush' is some silly troll that posts various rantings and
ravings on this board, mostly concerned with the fact that motor
vehicles exceed 5 mph and do not have a man with a red flag walking
ahead of them.
Posts from 'Laura' and Lance Lamboy (or whatever - remember him) can
and should be ignored if you wish to keep you cool and not enter
bizarro world (I personally think 'Laura' is really the somewhat
confusing, and always wrong, John Kaehny of Transportation
Alternatives, who apparently has never met a motorist he didn't hate)

I would not even see LB's posts if it were not for those who respond to
them.

Easiest way to avoid about 90% of the LB posts and replies is to set your
newsreader to ignore posts that are posted to more than a user set number
of NG's (given LB's propensity to engage in ECP). It won't remove them
all from your reader, but it does help...

And if everyone would refuse to reply to trolls like him/her, the troll
would soon get bored and disappear. I know, I know, I have responded
myself.

Even if you hadn't, there is a continuous supply of fresh (and
gullible) meat gaining access to USENET each and every day. Even if
every one of us "old hands" ignored AJ, there would always be someone
new who would stumblr right into his trap.

The Federal Reserve is not a branch of the govt; it's a group of
private banks and borrowing from them means the taxpayers have to pay
the interest to the banks. This has been going on for nearly a hundred
years and it's just stealing from the public and giving to the bankers.
JUST PRINT THE DAMN MONEY.

I don't think knife bans will ever happen, since knives are so damn
easy to make. I remember when i was in prison for beating up a dozen
gun loonies and we used to melt down a thousand or so aspirin tablets
into a thick goo and then let it harden into a knife shape which we
sharpened against the concrete floor. Anybody can make a knife anywhere
out of anything.

Yes, but never deliberately. In fact i got a speeding ticket about 5
years ago for doing 41 in a 25. I just about kicked the cops teeth in
cause i was sure he was lying. No way the SL on this wide open stretch
could be 25, i thought. Turns out the cop was right. No complaints from
me then. I should have known the law.

Slower* traffic keep right

Lots of states have such laws or variants thereof

The law abiding citizen is the driver trying to pass on the left. The
law breaking citizen is the unsafe congestion causing illegal arrogant
unsafe conceited law breaking L L B.

Even the State driving classes which have troopers teaching motorists
proper driving technique emphasize to clear the left lane as soon as
practical, no matter what speeds are involved.

LBMHBF gets by in life due to the generous handouts of the government
it loves to critisize so much. Obviously LBMHBF is *way* too damned
stupid to have a real job.
