Read the signs, "Slower Traffic Keep Right".
They are actually starting to crack down on that here (thank God). Even if you are doing the speed limit, its against the law to ride in the fast lane unless you are passing, or stay in the middle lane if traffic is moving faster in the lanes around you. Its called impeding the flow of traffic.

i dont mind quiiiiite as much if there's three lanes, and you're in the middle, but if there's two, you better get out of my way! nothing is more irritating traffic wise than having to cancel off your cruise cause some moron is in the way.

I wasn't in the way! I was already speeding as it was, and there was a nice empty left lane if anyone wanted to go faster.

I have no comment on the subject. I truly only use the left lane to pass.
I freely admit that I speed. That's why I have a radar detector in each car. It's not crazy speeding, but I just can't help going about 10 over. It's just in my DNA. I speed in traffic because with a radar detector it doesn't do any good to speed alone. All you are is busted then.

I used to have this hand held device that would set off someones radar detector. It was fun setting it off when someone was next to me.

The worst problem I encounter in traffic is on 3 lanes where someone rides in the middle lane at or below the limit. Usually around here, even traffic in the slow lane is moving at or slightly above the limit. This jams traffic up in all 3 lanes because the people that are doing 10-20 over are jockeying to the left and right trying to pass the douche bag in the middle that won't move over.

I typically do 5-10 over, but what is fun when my radar detector is going off and i'm slowing down. I'll gladly let the speeder go by and see them get pulled over!

Now if someone goes by me doing 15-20 over I will consider following them. But the situation has to be just right. Not too much traffic. Maybe its a couple of cars and I'd be third. I'll follow far enough back not to get caught except in some freak circumstance. i've really got it down to a science.
I live in a somewhat rural area. To drive to a city like Austin or San Antonio I'll have to use some 2 lane and maybe 4 lane highways. But these highways go through some small towns. They typically don't bypass the town with the highway. So you have to go through stop lights and 30 mph zones every 30 minutes or so. What drives me freakin' ape **** is the idiots that will go 65 in a 70 on the highway and then gt 45 in a 30 in the towns. It's freakin' nuts. I won't speed in the little towns. Those are the cops that catch you. They've got to make their payroll for the month. But I have to pass these morons on a 2 lane highway with curves and tractors and no passing zones, only to have them speed passed me in a city, where they really could run over a pedestrian or something, and then I've got to pass them again on the highway on the other side of town.

I live in a small town with no crime. The cops are always sitting somewhere so you never speed through town. This area here where it says Main Street across from Common St. suddenly drops to 20MPH. Cops are always sitting at Common St. where it hits SW Main St. I always slow down there and come close to having someone on my bumper!
