In the rain people drive 35mph on the freeway, because they are scared. When it's sunny, people get 'blinded' from the sun reflecting off grass, buildings, whatever.
AND - the area is CHOCK-FULL of left-lane campers; even though it's expressly forbidden according to the Revised Code of the state. (sigh)
In San Antonio, all you need is a curve in the road. And if you're a Mexican driving a 1972 PU with a trailer full of landscaping tools, it is a vested RIGHT to drive in the left lane doing 50.
