I would reword this perhaps, I would say to give it a more nuanced perspective that you shouldn’t be in the left lane if you aren’t passing and by preventing others from passing you are creating a hazard
I mean if you aren’t moving faster than the other cars then you’re clearly not passing them. So it still fits it’s just a less nice way of saying that.
Yeah but there’s some plausible deniability when it’s called the “fast lane” because some will think “oh I’m already going as fast as the law says I can (or faster), therefore I don’t need to worry about those people going even faster than that because that’s illegal”.
Calling it the passing lane would throw away that argument because the speed and legality of that speed no longer matter: it’s all about going faster than those on the right so they can be passed, not how fast one should be legally able to go.
Those people are still objectively wrong though. If you’re not moving faster than other cars get the fuck out of the left lane.
