Don't let the title fool you: she's a left-lane bandit and was cited for impeding traffic.

No surprise she's fighting the ticket...sad that the idiots at AAA are on her side.

I don't understand why AAA is rising to this womans defense. It just makes no sense. Left lane is the passing lane, always has been. You pass, you pull over into the travel lane and leave the passing lane open for passing.

There seems to be this whole subculture of people who don't know that, maybe the AAA spokesman is one of them. His argument makes sense, but only if he assumes that people come up behind a slow car in the passing lane, and simply slow down and plod along behind them.
Its pretty clear that the first thing that happens is things get dangerous. After a short while, its clear the person won't move, so people start taking chances to get around the SOB. Admitting reality and acting for public safety should be in the AAA's interest.
