Typically I'm doing 50 in a freeway posted 60 at non rush hour times. There are 2-3 lanes to the left of me. Seems like you are saying doing 50 in a 60 at 6am is breaking the law and narcassistic and breaking a law I'm unaware of while drivers speeding at 70-75 in any lane they please are law abiding. Explain your "logic" - including speeding while law-abiding.

BTW, I see nothing wrong with your ride as described, so I'm puzzled as to your issue with mine.
Not defensive. You're reading more into what I'm saying. I'm also not sure where I criticized "your ride". I don't know you, nor do I know anything about "your ride". Seems you're just looking for an argument.

I acknowledged that speeders are law-breakers, not law-abiders.

If you're driving BELOW the speed limit, as this poster was, and not in the right hand lane, then anyone driving THE SPEED LIMIT in that lane, has to switch over two lanes to legally pass you, or break the law and pass you on the right. As you said, most states have a law to not pass on the right. It appears the original poster is not familiar with this law, or would understand my concern with the sticker on the back of the truck.
