People who are too dense to understand the simple fact that the posted speed limit applies to all lanes.

Some are under the mistaken impression that the left lane is an American Autobahn. It ain't.

Dunno where you might be, but if you drove at or below the speed limit on most eastern US highways, you'd be a clear and present danger on the road.

You are an unsafe driver.

If traffic conditions are such that people are moving faster than the limit, you, by insisting on driving at a slower speed while in the left lanes, are a traffic hazard.

Not talking law or legality. 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.

Perhaps you'd care to elaborate on the usefulness of a single speed limit for both the 16 year old pick up truck on its original brakes and 75,000 miles on the tires and a new Camry with anti-lock brakes, traction control and new tires? Maybe we should all go 25 mph. That would surely save lives, right?

It is for me.

The speed limit is the lowest common denominator and is set for those who are too dense to drive to begin with.
