What in your mind is required for a speeding ticket? Doing 100 in a 70 zone?
The people going 10-15 over the limit always expect you to clear the left lane for them even if it means you have to do a risky merge into slower right lane traffic. My attitude is "up yours." If I am in the left lane, I am going the speed limit or faster. I don't need to cater to every racetrack driver out there.

Well, an attitude like that is what causes high speed accidents on interstates---slower drivers hanging out in the far left lane. They feel "entitled" to be there, so everyone else has to change lanes to get around them which is the number one cause of accidents on interstates.
BTW, based on the statement, "I don't need to cater to every racetrack driver out there.", you must be unaware that the law REQUIRES you to move over for anyone in that left lane who is traveling faster than you, even if you yourself are going 80 or 85. It IS NOT up to you to set the pace on any roadway, YOU are not a police officer.
