Yet it’s perfectly acceptable to go ten to 15 mph over the speed limit in the left lane, huh?

Edit to better explain my snark, it’s so backwards how much we complain about people riding in the left lane when literal speeding is considered acceptable by the majority.

I don't get it -- If I'm going to 10mph "over the limit", and someone comes up on me going 20mph+ over, they "mad" that I'm impeding their reckless driving(as defined by law). "Dude, you're running 90mph?!?!" When I've driving an ambulance Code-3 down the Interstate, there are people passing me occasionally. And I'm getting running at least 15mph over the speed limit when driving emergent. Just as it's unsafe to drive a 6 ton ambulance more than 85mph, the way a lot of people drive is blatantly unsafe & in conflict with physics. /rant off
