In many regions, the left lane is legally reserved for passing, yet "left-lane camping"—staying in the fast lane while going the speed limit or slower—remains a top frustration. This isn't just an annoyance; it is a safety hazard. When the passing lane is blocked, faster drivers are forced to weave through the right lanes, creating unpredictable traffic patterns.
Proper highway etiquette is the "software" that keeps the "hardware" of the road running smoothly. By following the simple rule of "keep right except to pass," drivers reduce the friction that leads to road rage and rear-end collisions. As the National Motorists Association points out, lane courtesy is one of the most effective, zero-cost ways to improve traffic flow and safety.
