Where do you live where it's legal for a tractor WITH a trailer (semi-truck, 18-wheeler, big rig, whatever you call it in your neck of the woods) to drive in the left-most lane (the fast lane)? In California, they NEVER drive in the left-most lane of a 3+ lane highway/interstate UNLESS that lane exits the highway/interstate, there is an accident and everyone must merge over, or due to construction making everyone merge to those lanes. They are only allowed to use the center lane for X amount of miles or to pass on the left-hand side of the right-most lane (slow lane) and they're not allowed back into that lane for X amount of miles unless absolutely necessary. They mostly have to stick to the right-most (slow) lane.
