If you’re driving along Highway 101 in the far left lane and you’re doing the speed limit of 65 mph, are you legally required to move over for drivers who want to go even faster?

No, says CHP Officer Jon Sloat.

“You may annoy some people but it’s not illegal,” he says.

But at the same time, he notes, while it’s legal to go the speed limit and not move over, the “smart thing is to move over and let the idiots go and we’ll catch up to them.”

For me, the annoying part is when I’m doing the speed limit in the car-pool lane during car-pool hours and a car rides my bumper, pressuring me to pull over to let him/her pass. I’ll keep going in the car-pool lane and will pull over into the next lane when it’s safe but not until then, so you can stop flashing your headlights at me.
