The minimum speed (if I am remembering correctly?) is 45MPH. If you are traveling slower than 45MPH, you are required to put on your 4-way flashers.
So, 55-60mph is perfectly legal and totally legit, and like *everybody is supposed to* you should be in the right/traveling lane. Nobody is supposed to stay in the left/passing lane - stay right except to pass is the law.
The posted speed limit is just that - the maximum limit, and *in theory* no one should be driving faster than that - so the idea that everyone has to drive at or near that limit is just silly. If you are driving faster than a vehicle ahead of you - you have a choice: slow down or pass and then move back to the traveling lane. No one is obliged to get out of your way, as long as they are going at or above the minimum speed.
