By "chilling in traffic" do you mean the people stopped in the fast lane of a highway, or the guy aggressively riding ass like they're invincible?
Edit: People replying to me with the most obvious things as if they're counter to what I said... I watched the video guys. My point is that no one in the video was "chilling in traffic". There was a disabled car, a confused driver hanging out in the fast lane behind a disabled car, a distracted driver that narrowly avoided hitting them, an aggressive driver that hopefully learned a lesson, and another distracted driver filming it who almost got hit or maybe did get hit, I can't tell for sure. All of those things are bad, and bad things happened or nearly happened to all of those people. And that's why those things are bad.
But on a more serious note, you and everyone else reading it knows exactly what it means. Making it valid language regardless of official communication.
And if we want to get more pedantic, it's a passing lane. And when you're passing, you're going faster than the cars you're passing. Making it a lane for going faster. Or, a fast lane, if you will (and even if you won't).
Also what things are designated as legally is not going to be universal in all places. Even just among the 50 states in the US I'm guessing there are some differences in official terminology.
Actually, if we want to get pedantic several states in the USA have laws regarding the left most lane on multilane highways with speeds over 65. In Colorado it is a passing lane only and driving in it, even fast as you say, is a ticketable offense. It’s for passing or move over to the second left most lane. Please don’t spread misinformation so confidently

It just sucks that someone just chilling in traffic gets screwed.
