The idea that it has something to do with how fast you are going is why the idiot in front of you isn't yielding to you: He thinks his speed is reasonable. It doesn't; it's whether someone else wants to go faster.
Yes, you're right. However, I try not to get
too upset (though it doesn't always work) at the person in the left lane who is driving the speed limit. After all, they are driving the maximum allowable speed on that road.
It's the dumbasses who putter along in the left lane at < speed limit who really tilt me.
You're right though, you shouldn't be on the left unless you are actually passing someone, and then you should move right as soon as you can again.
Unless, I guess, you happen to be in the UK, Malaysia, Tonga, Australia...
