    The left lane is for passing. If you’re not passing somebody, move over to the right lane. It’s not that hard people

      Left lane… on the highway maybe. In the city it is definitely usable for navigation purposes, getting to the intended destination.

        So is the right lane. If you’re driving the same speed as the car in front of you, you have no reason to use the left lane. Unless you’re making a left turn. Right?

          I dont agree, I use the left lane frequently to not have a car in front of me. Increases visibility and security a lot, and just gives a nice feeling of not being blocked.

          I do drive a bit faster than cars in the right lane almost always though.

              No I drive fast enough to never have cars behind me. :) So Im actually not part of the problem the thread was discussing, with drivers just driving the same speed in the left lane. That is really frustrating when people do that.

              I would go as far as saying that this behavior of driving faster in the left lane helps to make traffic flow a lot better and avoid congestion. But it’s not legal.
