    There’s a reason for those “slower traffic move right” signs. People drive at different speeds - if the people behind want to go faster than the people in front, it’s their responsibility to let them pass, so long as there’s a safe space in another lane to do so.

      Yes yes there are, but they aren’t there to appease criminals who can’t follow the rules.

      Rules for thee but not for me!

      There are minimum speeds laws as well, and those roads are where the slower traffic move right signs are. You are extremely unlikely to find them in city and not on highways.

      They are designed because of mainly 3 types of people on the road.

      1. traffic that is too heavily loaded to accelerate quickly enough to maintain speed due to dynamic road conditions. Typically large commercial transport and vehicles towing or hauling something.

      2. Older vintage/classic/non-passenger vehicles that can’t or shouldn’t be traveling at the speed limit, but ARE still legal to drive on those roads

      3. Vehicles experienced pronlems but are still drivable.

      We don’t have those here, going over the speed limit is illegal and if caught a few times you are banned from driving
