Left lane driver going speed limit and holding up traffic may be breaking the law, but those who want to pass and go faster than speed limit are breaking the law also...
I don't recall a single post like you describe either. What's your point?

I simply pojnted out that there can be a legal reason for driving faster than the speed limit. Never said it happens frequently.

But extended driving in the leftmost lane holding up faster traffic is always illegal.

Ooh. Are you admitting to being one of those left lane cruisers?
