Fast Lane/ Passing Lane Safety

I've lived in many states in the US and other countries... I can tell you that it's much safer to drive in states with "lane restrictions" and traffic moves faster. People don't get offended if you need to pass them because some people don't need to drive that far and rather stay under the speed-limit. That's fine. I'm not debating laws in different states. Regardless of where you live, cruising in the "fast lane" is just rude, especially when there are other people passing you on the right. It prevents others from having to avoid yet another obstacle on the road and weaving around other vehicles just to pass one person.

@aneekebeth You miss the point that if they are going slower than everyone else, they are going to have to be passed regardless of what lane they are in. Yes, it can be irritating. Myself, if I see someone coming up faster behind me, I move over. But in California (and some other places as well) they aren't breaking the law. LIFE is irritating. I'm more irritated by idiots talking on their phones as they pass people on the highway.
