If you're on a two or more lane Highway, you have to move over if somebody wants to pass you, regardless of what speed you are doing.

The law is absolutely correct and so is Kitty.
It makes sense!
The speed you travel has nothing to do with keeping to the right.
Regardless of the next guy's speed, even if he is speeding, you have to move over and let him pass.

Why would anyone have a problem with this???
