Excellent point and an interesting thread.

Although not too many will ever admit to it, it's been my experience that a lot of folks enjoy the feeling of power and control when they can keep people from passing them.

The way I see it, is that if there is room for me in the right lane that is where I stay (and belong), unless I am coming up soon on a left hand turn (which I can almost always safely move over) or I decide to pass someone.

Unlike some folks, I don't feel it is my job to regulate those who choose to drive in the left lane faster than the speed limit.

Just my $.02 worth.
