"driving" in the left lane. YES it's illegal.

Faster traffic still needs to yield to a slower vehicle when passing.

In most jurisdictions the law is the other way around, slower traffic MUST yield the way to faster traffic.

That’s why al, those big signs that say something to the effect of ‘Slower traffic keep left.’ or ‘Keep except to pass.’.

OK and while the slower traffic is passing in a reasonable distance the 90+ vehicle can slow up and take his turn. Do not tailgate, do not squeeze by on the right. Just a little courtesy before you get back in the throttle.

That pretty much sums it up. So everyone courtesy on the road and traffic will flow faster and safer. Make your pass and return to the right lane. Faster traffic maintain your reasonable following distance and continue on after the slower traffic moves over. But this only works if the faster traffic has a reasonable expectation that the slower traffic will actually do this. And judging from many responses on this thread that is not something that will occur. So we are back to the riskier right side passes because who knows if you have someone playing walking tall self appointed enforcer or someone just giving a little more distance before moving over. No different than not cutting through someone's campsite. It is just the right thing to do.

I think that sort of sums it up. Moving over is simply the courteous thing to do vs. impeding traffic flow (for whatever reason the slow driver feels is appropriate) Slower traffic simply keeps to the right.
