I would like to add that with an automatic you should NOT be EOC'ing unless you're absolutely sure this will not harm the transmission. Many autos will not circulate lubricants when the engine is off the tranny will not be properly lubricated, increasing wear and possibly severely damaging your vehicle.

If you are driving 47-mph on a road with posted upper and lower limits of 70-mph and 45-mph you are acting within the law. Those overtaking you have upon them the burden to pass with care, and only at the appropriate times/places. The speeders are fully outside the law. Faster traffic never has the right-of-way in any lane, at any time.
He's not saying it's illegal; he's saying it's unsafe. SoCal freeways are scary places and not somewhere you want to be doing the minimum speed.
