Sergeant Steven Wheeles stopped the woman after her driving speed caused a nearly 20 car build-up behind her.

Wheeles warns everyone that driving too slow can be dangerous, so you should move to the right so others can pass you.

Not much to add, except I wish every state had such a law.

Oh, yeah, I call them Left Lane Sheriffs.

An awful lot of safe / defensive driving is "don't do anything outside of what other drivers are expecting."

The reason I got rid of the Nanny Box provided by my insurance company is that it practically forced me to be ridiculously "safe," outside of the expectations of other drivers.

Hey, 35 mph limit, clear day, outside of rush hour, but the line of cars you are in is moving along at 42 mph?  Don't be an as$hole.  Go with the flow, as the saying goes.

Yeah, I know.  Advising people on the board to break the law?  You be the judge.
