People like that think they are on a racetrack anyway and normal drivers are a nuisance. I just move to the left, let them go around so they get the ticket, and I can continue drinking my beer.

The current law doesn't ask you to determine how fast the person behind you is going. It doesn't deputize you to enforce the speed limit in the left lane. It doesn't ask your opinion of the other driver's driving style. The current law requires that you move out of the leftmost lane if a faster vehicle is approaching from behind you. Very, very simple. Leave the rest to the proper authorities.
