Driving 90mph on a freeway isn't necessarily dangerous...

  Agreed! I was describing cars that are exceeding the speed of other cars on a fairly busy freeway and not using turn signals while rapidly changing lanes. Something I have seen a lot in California specifically. I've done plenty of multi-state drives on mostly-empty highways with cruise control set at 90mph. And I think most people would agree that speed limits on those roads should be raised.

  > while gliding across lanes with no blinker Might as well read the rest of the description they provided.

    Again not necessarily dangerous. On a freeway (which by definition has no intersections unless my understanding is wrong) if there is zero traffic and you check your mirrors and blind spot I'd be pretty pissed to get some automatic ticket for this

  Washington State (and probably other states are similar) has a law often summarized as: 'Keep Right - Except to Pass'. Going SLOW in the left lane(s), particularly on the often 4+ wide lane Interstate Freeways near the urban core(s), is (I would love a real study on this) more dangerous than a driver going a little faster the further left they go. Though the most dangerous, and disruptive, are full-interrupts from enforcement officers to pull someone over and issue a ticket; which also causes a road hazard and gawker block. I would much rather those public servants focused on even other traffic laws: improperly secured loads, failure to keep right to allow others to pass. Even more preferentially focused on non-traffic crimes: theft, various threats / assaults, etc.
