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.
Wrong, a minimum speed limit of 45 doesn't mean you can do it any lane you want. As stated, in NJ (where you don't drive) they were going to crack down on drivers not keeping up with traffic in the middle and left lanes, as it creates dangerous situations of being passed on both the left and the right. Not sure what happened, they still do it.
Yeah, semis pass each other. Every day I see a semi in the middle lane and other semis making all kinds of maneuvers to try to get around them. Sometimes they pass in the third lane, really creating a mess.
So, are you trying to say that when someone gets stuck behind a 60 mph RV in the middle lane then try to pass into a lane going 80, that the RV isn't causing "all hell to break loose"?
