Or, you can do what most of us do on Morse, BV, 466, etc. You use the left lane to do the speed limit. If you see someone come up behind you (who is speeding, incidentally) you move over and let them by. Perfectly legal, except of course the person who is exceeding the speed limit.

(3) On a road, street, or highway having two or more lanes allowing movement in the same direction, a driver may not continue to operate a motor vehicle in the furthermost left-hand lane if the driver knows or reasonably should know that he or she is being overtaken in that lane from the rear by a motor vehicle traveling at a higher rate of speed. This subsection does not apply to drivers operating a vehicle that is overtaking another vehicle proceeding in the same direction, or is preparing for a left turn at an intersection.
