What gives you the right from preventing others from exceeding the speed limit? That is the police job!
And there was nothing in my original post about speeding. I see many assholes sitting in the left lane driving well under the speed limit.
Left lane loafers are far more of a hazard than the speeders. Germany and most of Europe have realized this but here we have too many self righteous Pricks who see it as their responsibility to police everyone else.
Live and let live and get out of my way!

agree 100% - I feel no obligation to accelerate passing because of another driver's impatience

There is a difference between driving at an unsafe speed or impediing the flow of traffic or speeding while driving within the flow of traffic.

I always thought all those loafers out there obeying the speed limit were republicans.

If I am only gaining three minutes, it's because there are so many of you impeding traffic.

More dangerous because they impede traffic and force passing on the right.
