In Minnesota, we created an interesting law. If you are under the speed limit, get in the right lane. As long as you’re at at least thespeed limit you can be in the left lane or if you are passing, you can be in the left lane. Would create a bit of a problem if you’re doing the speed limit everybody else trying to go faster. Most people will move over if they there’s traffic coming up behind them. But not everybody. Then again here in Minnesota we don’t care we pass on the left , we pass on the right where ever is available.

Passing on the right is incredibly dangerous. The law should be, "stay right except to pass." If everyone followed that rule, we'd all get where we're going with minimal drama. If you're not going faster than the vehicle to your right, or there is no vehicle to your right, move over!

If we enforced that law over speed enforcement, road rage would likely drop, reducing accidents and improving traffic flow.
