    The 'slow' lane is on the right and the 'fast' lane is on the left - just reverse it from the UK as you'll be on the other side of the road.

    Watch out that some 'slow' lanes turn themselves into turn off lanes so you might be better in the middle lane.

    And don't forget that you can be overtaken on the inside and outside!

    Also don't forget there are minimum speed limits too.

    Undoubtedly this will happen, however bear in mind that it is illegal to 'undertake'(overtake on right) unless there are lines of traffic.

    Because the practice is so widespread, people think it is allowed and it isn't!!! Loads of threads on this and several people on here have got tickets, or been pulled over by police.

    Please also remember if you see any of the emergency services parked with a blue flashing light you should move out a lane, if necessary, so there is an empty driving lane between your car and the emergency vehicle. They can fine you if you do not move.

    Just to add, if it is unsafe to move over into another lane, you must lower your speed to 20 miles below the posted speed limit.

    Ideally try and drive in the second lane when more than two lanes, that way your not likely to get drawn towards an exit you don't want to be on, as some slow lanes turn into "right turn only" lanes. Your confidence will grow very quickly.

    Isn't that called 'middle lane hoggers'?
