So if the speed limit is 120km (Coquihalla Hwy) and you're in the far left (fast lane) of a 3 lane highway you're supposed to slow down to 70km with a maintenance truck on the far right shoulder. Really?

Patiently waiting for a “slower traffic keep right” or “keep right except to pass” enforcement blitz.

It's not a fast lane. It's a passing lane and clearly that's how laws work.
Well, unless you're narcissistic and purely ignorant.

Sounds a bit like entrapment to me. Do the police not have anything else to do, like catch real criminals. Easy to go after the low hanging fruit I suppose, rather than tackle real crime.

Some people are never happy. Next they'll be complaining about speeders in their neighbourhood.

I do believe most of you didn't actually read the article they are talking about when an emergency vehicle with flashing lights is parked on the side of the road you must slow down and move over. They are not talking about slow drivers in the passing lane...

Every time I heard that, you’re an idiot.
Remember this doesn’t apply within city limits/speed limits below 80 K.

Obviousy! If you're already doing 70km/hr or under why would it apply?
Thanks for pointing out the obvious!

Knowing how many drivers come right up to my rear bumper as I drive on Harvey ave. It’s as if they are saying move over/get the hell out of my way.
It causes one to wonder if I shouldn’t be in left lane while in city limits.
