No thanks. Try driving on highway truck route like I-5 where there are only 2 lanes in each direction. Even when the trucks stick to the right lane that still results in long delays as everyone else tries to pass on the left. Slowing the trucks down even more will just cause further delays, road rage, and dangerous driving.

I'm always amazed in the midwest what a difference there is between traffic in states that have (and actually enforce!) a "get out of the left lane" law vs states that don't.

I-80 across the eastern half of Iowa in particular is exhausting to drive on, because a lot of people camp in the left lane and clog up traffic. That leads to desperate and aggressive driving to get around these silly bottlenecks, which kills fuel efficiency and makes the roads more dangerous.

Those laws are unAmerican: they're about people doing what's best for the common good, instead of being selfish, and that's completely contrary to American ethics and mindset. That's why Americans generally hate those "keep right except to pass" signs and ignore them.

I know you're trolling, but those keep right except to pass laws are actually more common in right-leaning states with a lot of empty space. Which kinda undermines your trolling.

Or just do it where it makes sense and don't do it on two lane roads. Doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing policy. Many roads already have lower speed limits and lane restrictions for trucks. That could easily be expanded where it makes sense.

Oh, don’t worry. We’ll add more sensors and real-time monitoring to passenger cars so we’ll becable to punish those doing road rage. We’ll also put a hard speed limit in place which will be enforced electronically by the car itself.

We will then eliminate all old cars by raising taxes on them beyound what any sane person would pay.

It’s coming. Total control.
