Scott, I don't mean to flame, but you better go don
your Nomex skivvies--'cause here it comes!  

That is SO obnoxious!  You're not alone though, as
this has become an annoying trait among many American
drivers--they just hang out in the left hand lane so
long as they're doing a speed THEY feel is FAST
ENOUGH.  And they'll stay out there in that left lane
all day because it's their God Given Right, dadburn
it!

Having just driven Tampa to New York again a couple
weeks back I had to deal with this sort of nonsense
all the way up.  Hey, if I want to make 90 or better,
that's my business, and it's between me and the laws
(The Highway Patrol's AND Newton's)--meanwhile, do the
courteous thing and MOVE THE HELL OVER!

Left Lane Bandits cause accidents.  Being one at 75
mph is NO LESS rude, discourteous or unsafe than being
one at 45 mph.
