I do not accelerate to get out of the way of a speeder or to keep his pace. What sense does that make? The speeder can pass on the right. This allows the so-called SLOW driver to make his planned left turn. INSTEAD OF MISSING HIS TURN BECAUSE OF AN AGRESSIVE DRIVER.

The speeder can't pass on the right due to traffic? Then please explain how the driver in front of him can move to the right lane.

If a police officer sees this happening, I guarantee you the speeder will be ticketed. Good luck explaining the slow driver in the left lane should not have been there.
First of all, I never stated that slow drivers hang out in the left lane to “tick me off”. I stated that drivers who intentionally slow down to “tick off” those who want to go faster will succeed. As far as not moving over goes, THE LAW requires you to get to the right when approached from behind by a faster vehicle. The faster vehicle IS NOT required to go around YOU, YOU are REQUIRED to move over, whether you like it or not, and yes, YOU can get a ticket if you refuse to do so
