I think they likely were trying to pass. I used to have to cover the Southeast for work so had to spend a lot of time driving. Often there would be a line of trucks in right lane and often, one of them would determine the group was too slow and pull out to pass. This would always involve cutting off the faster cars in left lane and then taking miles to pass the truck/s on the right. If there's a slight uphill, it would take even longer. If trucks are going 65mph, they'd try to pass doing 67mph while prevailing traffic is 80mph+. Always caused this huge line of cars behind them.
It was better on highways with more lanes as at least you could get around. But between major cities, some of the highways drop to 2 lanes.
In GA, we have similar law but technically they are passing.
Do you not have a law that the passing lane is only for passing? It’s a law in CO - you can be pulled over for not yielding in the passing lane.
I spent about 8 hours driving on I-70/I-65 yesterday - the worst and most common offenders were professional truck drivers. Often, they were in the passing lane going the exact same fucking speed as another semi in the right lane.
It is the law, but i doubt anyone gets pulled over for this.
