Driving in the left lane interferes with the flow of traffic. You may be driving the speed limit, but a billion others are driving slower. Besides, it isn't up to the motoring public to provide rolling roadblocks for speeders.

A trooper will simply follow a car driving in the left lane. If the driver exceeds the legal distance, they get a ticket.
