I think the people that need to follow the speed limit should confine
themselves to the far right lane (outside), and if you feel that you have
appointed yourself the traffic control god, and impede the desires of other
drivers that feel a need for speed, you deserve the wrath of the frustration
that you self impose on another person. I personally have no use for two
drivers that keep the flow of traffic to the speed limit because it is their
right to drive side by side. this mentality only causes a congestion that
is more dangerous than a driver going 5 or 10 miles over the speed limit.
And if you are a perceptive person, you will realize that you have just
expressed your stupidity, and you should be removed from the road, as you
are the real danger.
