MN is passing a law to fine left lane drivers

Oklahoma has changed the law to "Keep Right Except to Pass" instead of "Slower Traffic Keep Right." I think it is just another ploy to collect more money from Texas drivers passing through, who are already good targets because they don't understand "Speed Limits Strictly Enforced" and are accustomed to running 10-15 mph over cruising the left lane.
10 to 15 over is a lot. Back in the days of the stupid universal 55 MPH limit they used to give me tickets for going 6 to 7 mph over.Even on the interstate. They don't seem to do that in MN anymore.
On 2 lane road in MN it is now legal to go 10 over to pass someone. I don't know if that is true on the interstate or not.
It’s funny how speeds are such a regional thing.
Here in Canuckistan speed ‘limits’ are more like ‘vague guidelines’.
In other than congested rush hour areas in built up areas our version of the Interstate system has a 100 km/h (62 mph) speed limit. In reality however if you’re not doing at least 20 km/h (12 km/h) over the limit the Nun driving the school bus, and all of the kids, are going to be flipping you off, and that’s if you’re in the RIGHT lane.
