  There would not be a problem if people with underpowered
cars would simply move to the right. The 55 mph speed limit
seems to foster a "cop" mentality in some people that if they
are traveling at or near the speed limit they can hold up
a long line of cars that wish to go faster. As I've said
before this practice is not allowed in European countries,
even those that have speed limits. If you are approached
from behind by a faster vechicle and you are in the fast
lane, you must move over or face a ticket. It is not
your job to enforce speed limits. While most states
have similar laws they are rarely enforced unless
violated by a slow moving truck, etc.
