> You didn’t provide a link for your cite, so I can’t say if it’s correct or not. I can that if there is such a statute, it’s absolutely not enforced. People in the left lane only get pulled over if they’re going really slow. Other than that, it’s just a regular driving lane.

[Here is the link you requested](https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/?id=169.18). Now, putting aside your hyperbole about how everyone else does it, does or does not the law of your state say that you must use the right line unless you are passing another vehicle?
