Right. In California trucks have a lower speed limit than cars, which results in what feel like pretty dangerous situations. The right lane is pretty much for trucks going 55. The left lane is a combination of: * Trucks going 60-65 to pass a truck in the right lane * 'Typical' cars who are going 75ish * Fast cars who are going 80-90 So there is a huge disparity of speed in that lane -- and that disparity seems like it must be a huge factor in many highway accidents. It always feels really dangerous. I wonder if it is safer than just having the trucks have the same speed limit as the cars.
