How did OBSERVING the limit metamorphose into ENFORCING it???

I cannot agree more that self-styled moralists driving deliberately
so as to force other drivers to alter their driving are dangerous.
I never suggested any such thing.

What I DID say is that if I am in a position in which it is
inconvenient for me to be in a lane other than the left lane, and
I am moving at or above the legal limit,  I am using that lane as
it should be used, and that when I pass the car to my right, AND
traffic ahead in that lane is moving at a speed similar to mine,
only then will I move over.  I will not speed up to 70-80 plus
just because some clown is a few inches behind my rear bumper.
It is HIS legal obligation to at all times maintain a safe following
distance, and if he has to wait for a few minutes until the conditions
to my right are appropriate for me to clear the way, he has to
wait, just as I do.
