It's a passing lane. Here in Alabama, it's even called 'Passing Lane' in the book. The others are called 'Cruising' or 'Traveling' lanes.

People get out there and do the speed limit and think to themselves, "I'm doing the speed limit so I'm fine out here"



Idiots.

There is ZERO reason to be in that lane if you're not going around someone or getting off on a left lane exit.

(and NO, I didn't tell my son to do 20 over. That point was for this thread)
Agreed entirely. I frequently drive 15 mph over the limit (85 in a 70) and I still move over into the right lane whenever possible. In fact, I've had passengers think I'm weird because in moderate traffic I make a lane change about ever 20 seconds as I move around people and back into the right lane.
