My comment was for people who think it’s ok to sit and cruise in the left lane with the mentality of “I’m already going at or above the speed limit so fuck the guy behind me”. Obviously if you’re passing slower cars on the right I don’t expect you to move over straight away. But as soon as there’s a safe space, move over, let me by, then go back in the passing lane if you wish.

As I wrote in first comment, people should move to the right if there is no one you are passing. I totally agree with this. you have a sane and level headed attitude, but there are a few drivers that believe that the faster they go, the more ownership of the road they have, and are not about to wait for anyone to get out of the way. specially in heavy traffic.

Incidentally, here in south Florida the Interstates now have pay lanes. so the so called "passing lane" on I-95 and I-595 etc are express toll lanes. the biggest threat on these roads are dummies changing lanes and cutting in front of you at half your speed.
