MN is passing a law to fine left lane drivers
https://blogs.mprnews.org/capitol-view/2018/03/minnesota-lawmakers-step-on-the-gas-to-pass-slowpoke-bill/ They watered it down so that it now is only going to be a 100 dollar fine.

I am the guy who still shows some courtesy on the highway, even if I have right of way. At an interchange if I see somebody especially another large vehicle such as myself on the ramp & it is clear that there may be some conflict by the time we get to the accelleration lane & there is traffic on my left, I will back off enough to let that large vehicle in without drama. What does it cost me? A second? Maybe two?
We all drive heavy vehicles. We all know what it takes to get them moving.
Same situation with cars is another thing. Every car made can out accellerate me. If the car driver finds himself right next a big white fiberglass box as he gets in the accelleration lane, he had better step on it. Happens so often. Here comes a car on a Sunday cruise as he enters the highway. Does not look. Does not accellerate to speed. Often yapping on the phone. Gets to the end of the accelleration lane & finds that he is still next to a big white box. Oh dear. Should have paid attention to your driving sooner.
