Washington, Computer Sci Lines: 13 Leaving the left lane for faster traffic is not an unwritten rule of the road. Unenforced, maybe, but not unwritten. So far as I know, the law in all states is that slower traffic keep right. This is certainly the case in Washington and Texas (in the latter state, I've heard of the self-appointed guardians of public morality being given tickets). By the way, I really think that the whole discussion of whether or not to pull over immediately has gotten 'way too warm. It's degenerated into a pretty raucous series of personal attacks, that really have no place here. One of the nice things about this group has always been that we're all friends (unlike, say, net.religion). So come on, everybody, ease up a bit. -Joe P.
