Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it illegal to be in the left lane unless traffic is backed up or your trying to pass in the state of IN? (that's where I was in/heading.)

As for a local law, I have no idea, you might check your local DOT website for details on that. I know that there is no FEDERAL law prohibiting it unless there are signs specifically saying for slow traffic to keep right. I know that in Germany it's illegal to just puts along in the left lane unless passing, but I think here it's more of an unwritten rule then anything else, sort of a kind gesture acknowledging that you are impeding the progress of another person. I know that in the days when I used to drive 90mph on the freeway (GA400 north is a 4 lane divided highway that is called the "Autobahn of the South" for many reasons, mainly the 80mph speed limit combined with a very generous 10mph over limit law) I used to get very irritated if I was cruising along and someone was doddling along in the left lane going anything less then I was simply because there were signs that say slow traffic keep right all along the freeway.
