Sure glad I don't live in a place where cars are zooming about at 75+ mph. This strikes me as a dangerous, wasteful and stressful lunacy. I think more Americans ought to visit Third world countries to gain some perspective. There's something to be said for cars, trucks, foot traffic and bikes all sharing the road. They go slow, but have no traffic lights and usually manage to keep in constant motion.

LOL, dude that lane is specifically for passing. and here in washington state the ticket people like you for that shit now. the only person worse than you is the asshole who gets in the carpool lane and goes so slow people are passing at least two of the lanes to the right.
shit if you go 60 in any of the three left lanes you get run the fuck over.

Diagram showing lanes and road layout, with Irish road markings.
A passing lane is the lane on a multi-lane highway or motorway closest to the center of the road (the central reservation).
In North American terminology, the passing lane is often known as a left lane or leftmost lane, due to left hand drive (driving on the right). In British/Irish terminology, the passing lane is termed an outer lane or outside lane, while a normal lane nearer the hard shoulder is termed an inner lane (or inside lane). Note that in some other countries, like Hungary and Australia, the passing lane is called the inner lane (belső sáv in Hungarian), because this lane is the closest to the middle of the road, thus it is the innermost.
In modern traffic planning, passing lanes on freeways are usually designed for through/express traffic, while the inner lanes have entry/exit ramps. However, many freeways often have ramps on the passing lane, these are known as "left exits" in North America.
A passing lane is often colloquially referred to as a fast lane because it is often used for extended periods of time for thru traffic or fast traffic. In theory, a passing lane should be used only for passing, thus allowing, even on a road with only two lanes in each direction, motorists to travel at their own pace. Good driving practice is to slip out of the passing lane once slower cars have been passed.[/quote]Passing lane
