This is exactly why I think it should be called " the passing lane" because, reasonably, people can argue that if they are going the speed limit they have full right to "the fast lane."
The passing lane gives everyone reasonable access to it. You drive 10 under, but stuck behind someone who is 15 under? Yup you have access to it because you shouldnt have to go slow.
You want to go 5 over? Well, someone else might want to go 10 over. So you stay out of the lane so they can pass.
But in the end it's not up to you to decide whether they are going too fast or now. It's the passing lane and if you aren't currently passing, get out of it.
It is called the passing lane though, isn't it? I always figured 'fast lane' was just slang. Is there anyone 'fast lane' codified into law?
I don't think it's codified into law everywhere that you have to be passing in it. But even using fast lane as slang is bad because it gives the wrong impression.
