You are an unsafe driver.

Because I obey traffic laws, I am unsafe? Uh huh.

If traffic conditions are such that people are moving faster than the limit,

Thereby, breaking the law

you, by insisting on driving at a slower speed while in the left lanes, are a traffic hazard.

I never insist on driving at a slower speed in the left lanes. Never said I did.

Not talking law or legality.

Because you can't, in this case.

Just safety. By sitting there blocking others, you force them into unneeded lane changes and passing maneuvers, thus increasing the risk of going down the road.

Again, I never said that I sit and block the left lane, thereby forcing speeders who willfully endanger the lives of others to change lanes.

When doing the speed limit, I stay in the right lane.

Yes. In the given conditions you certainly would be.

Your answer implied you did, and your insistence on standing by the letter of the law in the face of roadway reality implies you condone it, in spite of your rhetoric.

(Me) Not talking law or legality.
(You) Because you can't, in this case.

No, I can't. So what? I will not use the law to justify and unsafe practice.

Great! Then you agree that doing it is unsafe. Thanks, we are done I guess. ;)
