On the contrary... (for us who drive on the right)

 

Texas Motor Vehicle Regs paraphrased:  "Slower traffic keep right.  Left lane for passing only"  Not just a good idea, it actually is the law... again, not that anyone does it.

TRANSPORTATION CODE

TITLE 7. VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC

SUBTITLE C. RULES OF THE ROAD

CHAPTER 545. OPERATION AND MOVEMENT OF VEHICLES

 

SUBCHAPTER B. DRIVING ON RIGHT SIDE OF ROADWAY AND PASSING

 

Sec. 545.051. DRIVING ON RIGHT SIDE OF ROADWAY. (a) An operator on a roadway of sufficient width shall drive on the right half of the roadway,

(b) An operator of a vehicle on a roadway moving more slowly than the normal speed of other vehicles at the time and place under the existing conditions shall drive in the right-hand lane available for vehicles, or as close as practicable to the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway, unless the operator is:

(1) passing another vehicle; or

(2) preparing for a left turn at an intersection or into a private road or driveway.

 

The regs also talk about the speed limit... but that's a different subject

Ignoring what we know now, who thought Bill Cosby was a great ambassador for the engineering quality of engines?

 

Unless someone tells me he ran a racing team or builds dragsters (something else I didn't know about him), I can't work out why his opinion on camshafts is any better than mine.

I remember my dad telling me (back when he had a 2002, early to mid '70s; I was about 10) that BMW stood for Bavarian Motor Works. That ad confirms it!
