Default When Obama is President should he make it illegal to drive slow in the fast lane?
Do whatever it is the Germans do (with regards to traffic laws).

The Feds have very little authority over roads and highways. Even when they set national policies, they can't make the laws. Instead, what they do is tie federal highway funds to mandates to pass laws the Feds want. So the national maximum speed limit was not passed by the Feds, but by every single state that wanted Fed highway money.

As far as I know, it is against the law to drive slow in the left lane. The maximum speed is still the maximum speed, however.

He should use the interstate commerce clause to claim that state speed limits restrict traffic.

It would be a much more reasonable use of that than most of the other ways it's been used.

Not using turn signals when turning/changing lanes.

All states/municipalities must use reflective paint when painting lines on the road. I'm not sure if it is a Memphis thing or a Tennessee thing or a Southern thing, but you can't see the F-ing lines at night, especially if it is raining.

She grew marijuana on her property in conformity with the state medical marijuana laws, and was not selling it to anybody. But somehow, intrastate non-commercial activity was covered by the interstate commerce clause.

It takes a Supreme Court justice to completely pervert the Constitution that badly. We should have abolished the institution after Dred Scott.
