I'd take down the teenagers I saw today riding motorized scooters around the lake path, so loud I can hear them from across the water (1.65 mile path around). Seriously, I think it's illegal. And of course no helmets, flipflops, and even two numbskulls on one unit. |

Agressive Driving in this state is defined as attempting to use your vehicle to impose your will upon others. Going slow/not making passing progress in the left lane is defined as aggressive driving, and I know of at least one successful case of prosecution...6pts and nearly 1k in fines. |

It is against the law in this state to ride side-by-side with another vehicle without passing. But that wasn't detailed in the OP. Driving 64mph in the left lane could well mean you're passing a string of cars doing 55. |

Some states the law says it's illegal to be impeding traffic in the left lane. No speed is mentioned. So technically you could be given a ticket for doing 90 in the left lane if you're holding up a cannonball run. |

Four lanes of traffic and he's in the left lane and everyone is passing him on the right. every once in a while he would speed up to about 70 and then slow-down to 60. Traffic was heavy so it took a while to get around the azz! |

The moment you hit that left lane, you better be up to the predominant speed or you're impeding traffic. Thats a big issue in my town, we have a highway thats the main north/south road. Rather than left turns at every intersection, we have "michigan lefts" where you pass the road you want to turn onto, then U-turn to come back to it and turn right. We have lots of of people who coast in the left lane until their turn-off. And they're always out during my commute...... Grr..... |

Not enough space in the jails unfortunately... Although we do have written warning tickets which we have to hand out and sometimes it takes a loooooooong time to write them |
