To which I always apply the following line of reasoning:
   This guy wants to get by me.
   My right side is blocked so I can't change lanes.
   I'm already going the speed limit so advancing would be illegal (-:
   Only alternative:
         Apply the brakes until I've dropped back enough to move to the
          right lane.

And people actually get upset at me for giving them what they want!  Can
you imagine that??  (-:
