I remember reading an article and seeing a video about that being done in some city... three people drove their cars at exactly 55 mph and it actually caused a gigantic gathering of 55 mph-driving cars behind them. The cops actually pulled them over and tried to say they were disrupting the normal flow of traffic, and I don't know what happened in the end. My guess is, depending on the state, they might have been cited for not passing when in the left (passing) lane.
