That's exactly what I do...

Ofcourse there are times when I'll mix it up and might even floor it as they 'try' to pass...

Ehh... the downside is... a 36 gallon gas tank... at 12 miles a gallon... at $2.44 a gallon...

It's not the speeding I mind so much as the poor lane control of drivers in the US. Autobahn rules should be enforced in that slower traffic should always be in the rightmost lane, then faster traffic progressively in the left lanes. Nothing more frustrating than driving behind two cars paralleling each other at 50 MPH in the only two lanes of a 55 MPH superhighway.

How about a cop in the right lane and a line of cars behind him in both lanes because the guy leading the left lane is afraid to overtake the cop?

Well I wouldn't overtake him anyway, but I would at least get in the right lane. Police are usually driving 15 MPH over the speed limit as it is.

Amen! It's in all the driving books but never enforced...EVER. I want to make a bumper sticker that says "If I'm passing you on the right, you don't know how to drive," or something similar.

Same, I hate passing on the right..

I can understand begin slow if you are about to make a left hand turn, but 35mph in the left lane? c'mon!

I should legally be allowed to mount guns on my car, I bet people would get out of my way real quick once I started shooting at them

Just buy a tank - I'd like to see the cops pull you over in that
