I respectfully disagree. I know it can be better because I’ve seen it be better, and not all that long ago.
Also, I’m going to have to drive the Pike for years to come, so I’m hoping people will listen and get better.
Also, to be clear: I am all for ‘left laners’ who want to stay there while passing multiple, ‘spread-out’, right-lane cars. I am all for slowing my sorry ass down to do that. No problem with it, whatsoever.
However: the same principle applies (though I suppose it could be a bit more clear): if you are passing or if you are getting ready to pass by staying in the left lane, fine. If you aren’t, move over. That simple.
finally, for the people complaining about drivers being, “on their ass”? If you are following the rule? You have my every sympathy. It sucks being tailgated when you are but one in a line of cars. If, however you are not following the rules? You’re just staying in the left? Nope. You have no argument. Move out of the way, please. Thank you.

If you tailgate someone for being in the left lane you’re not fixing the situation. Now there are two problems instead of one.
Somehow cars break everyone’s brains and then everyone thinks they’re the most important person in the world.
