Another thought - if the speed limit is 65 and you're driving 100, but others behind you want to drive 120, should you continue to pull to the right to let them by? These are just crazy things I ponder.
YES!
Common courtesy on the road dictates that if you aren't passing anyone, you shouldn't be in the left lane. If you want to do the same speed as the guys in the three lanes to the right of you... why can't you drive in front of or behind one of them in the lanes to the right?
Left lane is for PASSING. Unless you are properly certified law enforcement in whatever jurisdiction in which you are driving, it is not your job to enforce the traffic laws of said jurisdiction. If you are doing 100 mph in the left lane and somebody wants to drive 120 in the left lane... move over and let the traffic cop down the road handle him.
There is a reason that you see signs such as "slower traffic keep right". It doesn't say "vehicles driving below the speed limit keep right", does it?
