Explanation
Driving 55 MPH in the far left lane of a freeway with a posted speed limit of 65 MPH could lead to a citation if it impedes the normal and reasonable flow of traffic. The left lane is typically used for faster-moving traffic, and driving significantly below the posted speed limit in this lane can disrupt the flow of other vehicles.
