Yeah, I literally said, "10 mph faster than whatever the speed of traffic is in the left lane," and still got a, "tHe PaSsInG LaNe iS FoR PAsSInG," reply. Unless you validate the idea that the left lane allows you to drive as fast as you want under any circumstances, someone will accuse you of being a left-lane camper.
You also said people were trying to pass on the right. If there is enough room for them to pass on the right then there is enough room for you to move over and let them pass.
No, I said, "they will attempt to pass you on the right, creating dangerous traffic situations." I've had to slam on my breaks because some idiot decided they were going to pass me on the right even though there were barely two car lengths worth of free space.
Also, I'm describing a hypothetical situation that happens frequently on U.S. highways; I'm not describing a specific situation that happened, and I'm saying what you should always do in every situation. Often times, pulling into the middle lane and letting the asshole pass you is best. If traffic in the middle lane is too dense, changing speeds/lanes to get dangerous close to two other cars or into the blind spot of a tractor trailer is worse than being tailgated for a while. In any case, how you handle the asshole doesn't change the fact that they are using the left lane inappropriately.
