A little hint, when the road way interstate becomes 3 lanes instead of two, get in the 2nd lane or follow the semis as they know the game. Never put yourself in the first lane unless you are exiting.

I drive a major 3-lane interstate to work every day. The trucks drive in the middle lane as you suggest, as well as the slow lane. It creates major traffic problems. Ive heard this is something they were going to crack down on in NJ, as it is not legal.

I try not to go to NJ. My daughter lives in MD and it is no fun driving there either.

Whether driving in NJ, MD, MI or any other state,if you're in any other lane than the slow lane and you're not keeping up with the flow of traffic, you're creating a roving road block, impeding the flow of traffic and creating a dangerous situation.

Wrong, the minimum speed is 45mph. I normally am driving at 65 to67mph on Michigan and most interstates that a fairly level and in good shape. I drive 80 in the car and am in the furthest left lane a lot. The real problem are two lanes where RV's generally drive from 50 to 65 and the cars want 80. They get stuck behind a 60mph RV then pull into the 80+ lane and all hell breaks loose.

Semis are constantly passing other semis so your point is more than moot. semis in Michigan are limited to 65mph.
