B95-FM - If you spend a lot of time driving the I-95 through Maine there is a good chance that you have broken the law without even realizing it.
Without hashing out the specifics
of how fast you drive, I think we can all agree that many of us frequently
drive faster than the posted speed limit.
A lot of times this happens when we're on the highway. This often causes us to drive faster than the
flow of traffic. When that happens we
tend to camp in the left lane of the highway.
Is it legal to do this? Technically, no.
According to the Maine
Legislature website: “An operator driving on a limited-access way with a speed
limit of 65 or more miles per hour is restricted in ordinary operation to the
right-hand lane and may use adjacent lanes for overtaking and passing another
vehicle, but must return to the right-hand lane at the earliest opportunity.
This requirement does not apply to an authorized emergency vehicle, or to a
vehicle otherwise directed by posted signs, a law enforcement officer or a
highway maintenance crew.”
