It is against the law and there have been news articles stating that the law is going to be more strictly enforced. If you insist on driving in the left lane when there are cars behind you and refuse to pull over to the right lane when it is safe, be warned that you may receive an expensive ticket. Here is the law:
Florida Statutes §316.081
(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.

The people that you are referring to are more than likely Connecticut Drivers. Connecticut drivers are the Biggest offenders of driving in the left lane...slowly. Honestly they are by far the " Worst " drivers that I have ever come across. All of them need to take drivers education classes yes everyone..a absolute nightmare driving in that state.
