I quote from the 2016 Florida's Driving Handbook,
'However, driving too slowly is also against Florida
law. You must not drive so slowly that you block
or delay trafic moving at normal, safe speeds.
You should drive with the low of trafic, WITHIN THE SPEED LIMIT. When driving slower than the low of
traffic, keep right so others may safely pass. On
highways, when the posted speed limit is 70 mph,
the minimum speed limit is 50 mph'.

The speed limit is the same in both lanes. If you want to make a left turn, allow yourself time to get into the left lane before turning. Vehicles driving the posted speed limit have the right to drive in the left lane.
