They do love the left lane.

The left lane is for anyone going over the speed limit whether it is 1 mph or 20 mph.   The 1 mph guy will not get over to allow faster drivers to pass.  That's because the right lane is occupied with people going 5 mph under the speed limit.

The state of South Carolina passed the Slow Poke Law in 2021. Slower traffic must stay right. The speed limit doesn't enter into it. No matter your speed, if the guy behind you in the left lane is faster traffic, you must merge right and let him by unless you are actively passing a vehicle. State troopers have started writing tickets.

FL has a similar law, I don't think it gets enforced. It specifically excludes any mention of whether the driver in the left lane is speeding. If you're holding up the flow of traffic, you're in violation, no matter how fast you're going.

Yay for South Carolina.  Unfortunately, it's North Carolina that needs that law, judging from every car I ever see with North Carolina plates.  It's like it's illegal to drive in the right lane in NC.  I'm sure they drive hundreds of miles without ever getting out of the left lane except to merge.

DE has a similar law, with similar signs, and it is similarly ignored.

I was watching the Billy Crystal movie City Slickers in a theater. There's an action sequence where they are chasing and trying to catch a "wild" horse. There's a split second where I could see the bottom of a front foot in silhouette, revealing (to no one else, I'm sure) a horseshoe. 
 

I shouted out, "He's got shoes on!"
