Both are causing inconvenience to other drivers to suit their needs. Both are interfering with the continuity of traffic flow. Both could be increasing the risk of an accident (depending on traffic).

OK, I'm Australian, maybe we do things differently.
The motorway speed limit is 110kph.
Provisional driving licence holders are limited to 90kph, indicated by a red P plate displayed on the rear.
Learner drivers are limited to 80kph, indicated by an L plate displayed on the rear.
Both are allowed to drive on the Motorway.
All vehicles are expected to keep to the left (slow lane)
unless overtaking.
By driving at 95kph, I'm still faster than either a P plater or an L plater would be while driving my car in the slow lane.
If I need to overtake someone, I do it at increased speed, then change back to the slow lane, as any responsible driver should.
