"driving" in the left lane. YES it's illegal.

I'm fine with states passing, and enforcing, left lane laws, as long as they also enforce the speed limit. I'm no angel and often drive 5-mph over (sometimes more), but when motorists feel they should absolute freedom to rocket down the highway at 90-120-mph, that's a significant problem that puts us all at risk. Laws (controls) are there to prevent injuries, death and property damage.

The higher the speed, the higher the likelihood many others will be taken out in the event of a crash.

I find a speed no-one else is going and try to maintain that. Problem is you sometimes attract "flies" who buzz around you. It's much safer to not hang around other cars. A lot of people are distracted and latch on to driving around you. I call them "flies" because they're so distracted you can pass them off to other cars as you pass them. It's like holding your head next to another person to get the fly buzzing around them. What gets me is the people who hang next to tractor trailers for miles when they regularly have blowouts and tread separation. They also wander into lanes as the TT drivers are just as distracted these days. I make it a point to get around them as fast as possible. Back to my first sentence, it's pretty easy to continue notching up the cruise control when people keep hanging around you on the interstate. Few know how to drive defensively.
