I know that driving etiquette can be different in different states, or even areas, but over the years, I come to the impression that blocking the traffic is encouraged by the Law Enforcement.
CA freeways are famous for "Left lane huggers" and CHP pass them on the right while not doing anything.
Have not been on the route for some time, but highway 50, connecting Sacramento with famous for weekends Lake Tahoe, is mountain, windy highway, where lot of cars drive well below speed limit just becouse the driver has no skills.
So every few miles the highway has passing lane. What the slow driver does? He speeds up on the wider stretch of the road, so nobody can pass him, only to hit brakes when passing lane ends and go slowly again.
The procedure did not change for 30 years I was living in CA and doubt it will change in next 30 years.
