Is this a rhetorical question or are you requiring more information to decide whether you should mind your own business and get the hell out of the way. What business is it of yours unless you are an LEO enforcing the law.
Well, if you want to be mad that I won't let you intentionally and willfully break the law, let me get some violin music playing for you.
Me, I just prefer to steadily creep up within inches of their bumper until they get the point to move the **** over before I pit-manuever their ass.
That's what the emergency brake is for. Slow the rear of the car down, keep it behind the front, and let you smack em again, causing more damage to the car, and requiring a greater output from your insurance to them, as well as your well deserved ticket. @@@
Get over it and only use the left lane for passing, regardless of your speed.
Ha, MOgal, how about YOU get over it until you get your LEO badge and start cruising the freeways in your state and can start citing all those left-lane scofflaws.
Signs that say "Slower Traffic Keep Right" mean slower than the posted speed LIMIT. You're not obstructing traffic if you're obeying the law in the left lane.

The left lane is for PASSING only, if you're in the left lane and not passing anyone you shouldn't be there no matter what speed you're traveling.

Sadly, this is not the case. In our "society" people feel entitled to go whatever speed they wish regardless of traffic laws. I go the speed limit religiously (and often 5 mph below the speed limit if I am unfamiliar with the road). Since you do as well, stonecypher, you are aware that 90 percent of the traffic on the road passes you like you are standing still when you go the speed limit.
While I do not justify nor condone speeding AT ALL, it nevertheless exists, and we cannot close our eyes to this fact.
Driving the speed limit in the left lane (passing lane), would obstruct the flow of traffic, plain and simple. The place for law-abiding people is in the right lane, sadly. Now on those rare occasions that we are stuck behind a very slow-moving vehicle (such as a fully laden semi truck), we can "zip" around them in the passing lane, but must return to the slow lane as quickly as possible so as not to impede the maniacs who insist on driving 90 miles a hour.
It is a sad and pathetic reality that people do not respect the law when it comes to driving. Our only consolation is that once in a while, we see them pulled over on the side of the road getting a ticket for their trouble, or in some rare occasions, read about them in the newspaper having flown off the side of the road and hitting a bridge abutment. But those moments are rare.
At least you and I, and the others like us know that we are doing the right thing in upholding the law.
So, you are saying that I should not restrict your ability to break the law?
Technically, if I am doing the speed limit, and I am in the left lane, the only thing obstructed are those who desire to willfully, and intentionally break the law.
You're breaking the law by being in the passing lane and passing nobody, you're intentionally and willfully breaking the law as well.
Basically if you are doing the speed limited and tcket for friving too slow i the left alne;you shod go to court with a picture of teh posted spped limit. Calim a mistake of alw because that sign is just that if your allowed to speed over that limit. Its a well found legal president.
Well, if you want to be mad that I won't let you intentionally and willfully break the law, let me get some violin music playing for you.
You're breaking the law at the same time, should I be allowed to come up on your right side and run you into the divider wall to stop you from willfully and intentionally breaking the law?
Next time someone creeps up behind you call the cops to tell them someone is going 3 miles per hour over the speed limit.
