In PA there is a law against driving in the left lane on highways. The left lane is for passing, shit and get off the pot!

Many/most company trucks are governed at 68. Independently owned trucks aren't governed, for the most part.
Big problem is with the trucks that aren't governed try to pass the ones who are and tie up the left lane (and idiots like TDAK).

If the majority of traffic is going 80 and you are going 68 you are the problem, not the solution. In Arizona, ARS 28-701a makes it clear that the speed limit is suggested but your speed is required to be "reasonable and prudent" for conditions:



Driving too slow compared to most traffic makes you a hazard.

On rural interstates in Arizona, the speed limit is normally 75 mph. A truck governed to 68 or less mph (probably less realistically as most governors on vehicles make going right to their limit very difficult to do) is likely doing 10 + mph slower than traffic in general. That increases their hazard to traffic.

you do realize your link only prohibits speeds GREATER than what is reasonable and prudent, right?.......

given the fact there is an acute shortage of long distance truckers, I doubt its legit to claim automated trucking is going to disrupt jobs........
 
when Canadian truckers slowed down and drove bumper to bumper at 55 mph, lib'ruls complained they were blocking traffic with meaningless protests........

The only firm limit on that is in 28-701c which sets an absolute speed limit of 85 mph maximum (10 mph greater than any posted speed limit in AZ). Driving above that speed opens you up to a criminal speeding citation that's about triple the civil one under 701a.

You're a failed wannabe cop using a 3,000 lb. weapon because you enjoy forcing others to obey You, not the law. It makes you feel more manly. Pathetic. :palm: It is you that causes accidents and traffic jams. You aren't keeping anyone safe. You are the danger.

"People have different interpretations of how to drive in the left lane, but staying there when you’re not passing isn’t allowed in most states, despite what some drivers might think. Blame the confusion on the lack of a nationwide law. In 29 states, there are laws that any car moving slower than the surrounding traffic should be in the right lane, while other states are stricter and designate the left lane only for turning or passing. In Georgia, it’s actually a misdemeanor to move slower in the left lane than surrounding traffic. This year, Tennessee cracked down and now has established a $50 fine for slow left-lane drivers."

We need this on all highway vehicles. And the limiters should be set at 50 mph. Based on what happened in 1974, such a law would save 10,000 american lives every year . How can anyone oppose this? And yet liberals will. They love their assault vehicles as much as they hate assault rifles.

There is no such thing as an 'assault vehicle'. 50mph limits would cause wrecks. You are advocating fascism.

If there is too much traffic to safely go 80 mph, and deal with a truck going 68 mph, then you are legally supposed to be going 68 mph. You are only allowed to go the faster speed if you can safely deal with slower vehicles.

The reality is there are going to be slower vehicles. It is the faster vehicles job to only go faster if they can safely do so.

Going 68 on an 80mph road is DANGEROUS.
