Main theme: Our panelists talk about the annoying habits of drivers who linger in the left lanes of highways, and what some states are doing about it.

Driven this week: 2018 Buick Regal TourX.

Viewer/listener questions: What is the cutoff between when a tested vehicle is (and isn't) recommended? Another person asks how often the little-used gas engine of his Toyota Prius Prime should be serviced. Last, we dig deeper into why the Lexus ES is recommended even though it has flaws.
