Nothing I posted disagrees with that with the exception that the speeder is ALWAYS in the wrong.Let Me dumb it down as far as it can go.
If I am driving the posted maximum, lets say it is the standard 65 mph on an interstate highway...
And you are driving 100 mph on the same stretch of highway and are approaching Me from the rear...
I would be a fool not to get over out of self preservation, however; I am not required to get over by law as I am driving the posted maximum.
The speeder is ALWAYS in the wrong.
Always.
All true. But that's got nothing to do with your fantasy about speed limits within lanes. How that "Slower traffic keep right" sign applies here is that that speeder has to pass you on the left. Whethr he's going 100 while you're going 65 or if he's going 65 while you're at 55 -- all irrelevant. The only relevant factor is that vehicle A is overtaking vehicle B. Period.
True and agreed. But COMPLETELY irrelevant here.
The design of traffic flow in American highways is that the maximum posted speed limit applies to ALL THE FUCKING LANES.
That is an absolute fact.
No one has ever suggested otherwise. You keep bringing it in here with a "look what I found" as if it has some kind of significance or relevance. It doesn't.
The keep right sign means that if you are going slower than that posted maximum, then you must be in the right lane UNLESS you are coming upon someone going slower than you are.
NO IT DOES NOT. It means if you're going slower than somebody else (comparative adjective -- vehicle A slower compared to vehicle B) then you need to be to the right. How fast either one of you are going does not even enter into it.
Nothing I have stated is wrong or factually incorrect.
Except that ridiculous assertion just above.
The relative speed argument is the real red herring because no one is supposed to be traveling faster than the maximum posted limit.
IRRELEVANT. This is not a speed law; the speed law is separate. The simple laws of physics and prescribed traffic patterns demand a protocol. The protocol is that passing is done to the left. What anyone's speed is as an absolute number at the time is irrelevant. All that matters is the relative speed between the two.
If the world actually worked in this bizarre way -- and I still wanna know why you aren't sharing whatever gave you this cockamamie idea -- the sign would say "Under 65 keep right".
And if in this Bizarro World that sign meant that, then as long as there was a vehicle traveling at the max speed limit in the right lane, no one could ever pass it. So if you had an eight lane highway seven of those lanes would be empty and unusable.
Your logic.
