Odd that so many people here are implicitly defending all other companies like Nike, Apple and McDonald's... as long as it's not Uber exploitation is ok or something?

No one is getting paid more than they make their employer, anywhere.

All labour is exploitation.

And it was always clearly stated as such. It's absurd that anyone was upset by this. I have yet to find a single user on here who did not properly understand what it was for, or at least none willing admit to being that dumb.

Nothing wrong with using the passing lane for passing and I never indicated as such. Everyone should drive at a speed comfortable to them...in the right lane, unless passing.

It is called the passing lane though, isn't it? I always figured 'fast lane' was just slang. Is there anyone 'fast lane' codified into law?

What people like you miss is that you should actually move to the right before someone comes up behind you. There is literally no value to staying in the left lane when not passing.

Who gets to be the parents in this situation?

Most European nations still have some form of provinces/states. Even itty bitty Switzerland is made up of a bunch of different Cantons.

It's very simple, the left lane is for passing and the right lane is for not passing. It's clearly defined as such.

40mph semi passing a heavier/slower 35mph semi, while annoying at times, is a completely correct use of the lane. As is someone going the speed limit passing someone else going 5 under. A 250mph Lambo passing a 220mph Porsche is also using the lane correctly.

Speeding is completely separate. If someone is speeding then they might get a speeding ticket, but it will not matter at all which lane they happen to be in. If they get a ticket related to the lane they are in, it would be in relation to incorrectly using the lane (such as passing on the right. The left lane is not for blocking speeders, its for passing. Call the cops if you would like them ticketed for driving dangerously, but blocking them just makes an already dangerous situation more dangerous.

My point is everyone is supposed to be in the right lane at all times unless actively passing, including the Lambo. Everyone.

If I'm on a totally empty highway I would drive for the entire journey without going in the left lane as there would be literally no reason to. Doesn't matter at all if I'm driving a slow semi or fast Lambo.

Completely agree and I was referring only to this specific instance.

I agree with all points, but isn't the officer who stopped it from continuing the 'good guy with a gun' here?

It's almost like it's possible to have good guys with guns without letting every single person get guns by default.
