You are in the left (fast) lane going as fast as you want/need while passing cars in all other lanes. Middle lanes are doing 60-65. Just drive on by. You would not even notice. Or are you saying you are driving in the right lane as fast as you want and that I am in your way? To Franks point and question. There is no legal justification for your position. Why do I have to speed up? Any and all that want to pass do with no concern or effort. You can not state a legal reaon why I might be a blockage. Do you think you can change our minds for speed? Why do you care?
I don't think anyone here would have (or anywhere) any issue with this. I think the folks that dislike driving significantly bellow the PSL (and the vast majority of traffic) have a problem when passing is problematic such as on a 1 lane each way or on a filled to capacity (but still flowing at speed) 2 lane each way (the cluster trying to pass a 55mph vehicle in a 65 causes a slow down of both lanes when you get a bunch of drivers all squeezing into already too small gaps). If passing is safe, easy and legal someone tootling along at 10mph in a 65 is a non issue.
