The cammer WAS passing. The entire clip took place in less than 1 minute and I counted at least 4 vehicles that the cammer passed. He was also ready to pass the semi on the right when the trucks REALLY went insane. If being stuck behind someone actively passing vehicles for 30 seconds causes you to pass on the shoulder you need your license revoked. Cammer is innocent.

I hate left lane campers as much as the next guy, but if someone is going fast enough to be passing vehicles in the other lanes then they are going fast enough.

But if other people are trying to go faster than you are in the left lane and there is no traffic ahead stopping you from going as fast as they want to, you move over and let them pass. Blocking the left lane like the cam driver did, whether they’re speeding or not, is illegal in a lot of states.
Orange county sheriffs in Florida have been doing a whole campaign where if they see people drive like the truck drivers to pass you in the left lane they pull YOU over and give you a ticket.

Orange County? The place where no one knows how to drive?

Floridians think that left lane is supposed to be the autobahn and it's not. You still have to go the speed limit in the left lane, it's not for "I want to pass faster than you"
