Once again, if you aren't passing or getting ready to turn left, get out of that lane. And seriously, 5 mph over the posted speed limit is not a hazard to anyone. Police allow a 10% variance before handing out a ticket. So, if you're in a 50, 55 isn't going to get you a ticket. And I doubt if your speedo is accurate enough to tell the difference between 4.5 and 5. Meaning 4.5 mph over in a 45 mph zone isn't going to get you a ticket either. If you were a hazard at such a minimum over don't you think they'd be writing you up?

Not against law to be in left lane, it is against the law to impede traffic in the left lane reguardless of speed, so if no one is behind you, you can drive in the left lane all the way to Canada.
