I can't believe the general tone of this topic vilifying a person for getting in the way of someone breaking the law. This isn't the autobahn, you don't have a right to drive 80, and there is no law that requires anybody to get out of your way if you choose to break the law. Hit somebody that was "in the passing lane" driving 65 while the middle was going the same and see what your insurance says.

And if the freeway is already starting to get congested, I'm doing 65 in #1, #2 is putting at 55-60, I refuse to further congest the right lanes AND slow myself down, just to let someone speed up to the bumper of the person that was in front of me.

The first thing I do if traffic is building up and the fast lane gets down below 40 is get in the fast lane and put 200 feet between me and the next person. Within 1 minute the 5 closest cars around me all begin to do the same thing as they realize I am braking and accelerating about 5% as much as them, and staying within 50 feet. The moment of sanity will spread both forwards and backwards through traffic.

if there is a faster car behind you, it doesnt matter if hes going 80 or 200. You need to move out of the way. If you worried about the law being broken then make a career shift to highway patrol. i do 80 in a 65 on a regular basis and i hate having to switch lanes because people feel they are going fast enough at 65.
