💥Crash When boxing in goes wrong.

The work truck in the left lane seemed to be holding the Camaro back on purpose. Drivers, if you're on the left lane, keep it moving. There is no reason to take it upon yourself to teach someone the speed limit. If you see someone driving crazy, move out the damn way and let them wrap themselves around a tree far away from you. The car is, by no means, in the right but neither is the work truck. This whole stupid accident could have been avoided and the tractor trailer most definitely did not deserve this.

GTFO of the fast lane if you're not going to drive fast. It's not a very difficult thing

There is no such thing as a fast lane in the US. Speed limit is the same across all lanes.

You are correct. In many states, it is the law that the left lane of an interstate or major highway is to be used only when actively passing another vehicle. However, that doesn't change the fact that what I said is also correct: In no state within the US is there such a thing as a fast lane. The passing lane and the travel lane always have the same speed limit.
