Tailgaters
We're on our maiden voyage in our Class C. I drive a lot; my commute is 100 miles each day. But I'm flabergasted at the folks on I-70 who insist on riding my bumper! I'm doing 55mph, far right la...

Guess I am going to stray a little to the other side here. The only places I70 speed limit is 75 MPH in Colorado is two lanes each way. You are 20 MPH under the posted speed limit, and the average speed is likely closer to 80 MPH. You are within your rights to be that speed, but if it bothers you, maybe consider getting off the interstate.
Sorry but NO. This is precisely what the right lane is intended for. Slower vehicles. And as Long as they are doing the minimum speed or higher no one has anything to say about it. The real problem is the guy in the FAST LANE pulling his 5th Wheel at 60 trying to pass the other guy with the 5th wheel doing 59.
Now personally I think that a ten or twenty mph of a speed differential here in the US can be dangerous. As for those going 80, you should not adjust your speed because some are exceeding the limit by 10 or 20 mph.
I drive in Europe a lot, across the continent in some cases and I can tell you that "lane discipline" is one of the most important issues there. If you are slow you'd better be in the slow lane. If you are driving a merc at over 100mph you will spend your time in the fast lane. People dont tailgate as much there.
