I'm just saying those numbers as a jumping off point. I don't know what would be a good speed. It's 70 when I drive through TN and that's perfectly fine with me.

My main beef with people who drive in the left lane is that is most definitely clogs up traffic. It's illegal for one if you're not passing and two, it makes the jerks who want to blow around have to weave in and out of traffic to pass you drive even more dangerously.

Now, I'm not of the "GET ON THEIR ASS! THEY DESERVE IT!" persuasion, I was just reading some comments by a guy with the name of Larry on ES and he had some REALLY good points. I'll paste a few:

"I'm also being struck by another effect of the entitlement mentality: The tendency of the entitled to demand more.

Now, it's not only your Right to speed, and your Right to demand that lesser people get out of your way to make it easy for you to speed, it's your Right to endanger them if they trespass in your reserved road."

I do not think its against the law to drive in the left lane and not passing its one of those unwriten rules of the road. I do agree that if not passing to stay in the right lane. I like when one of those people who weave in and out of trafic gets behind me and there is a car beside me. I slow down a little and they switch lanes thinking that they can get around on that side. Then I speed up some and then they jump back in behind me as they think I'm passing the car beside me.
