When driving to Gainsville on I75 (70 mph limit) I usually use the middle lane at around 75. When I get to someone moving slower in that lane I pass them on the left. I stay in the left at around 75-80 if there is no one faster behind me and slower vehicles in the middle. I keep an eye out for anyone faster coming up from far behind in the left lane and if so I move back to the middle to let them pass. I may use the right for passing if the other 2 lanes have slower drivers. But it is very annoying to have people driving slower than the speed limit hogging the left lane. Everyone tries to pass them and some tailgate to get them to wake up. If I'm in the middle lane and that slow person is in the left, cars will sometimes slice in front of me to get around them. I'm for a law that works to prevent those slugs in the left lane, but not holding my breath to see it actually work.
