The Speed Limit means MAXIMUM SPEED LIMIT ALLOWABLE UNDER LAW ON THAT ROAD

Absolutely true.

If the speed limit is 70, people in the left lane should be doing 70, people in the right lane 55 Not, people in the right do 70, people in the left do 85

Sort of. People in the right lane can do whatever speed they wish. At the same time they should not obstruct those who wish to travel faster than they, in the left lane.

I travel at least 10 times per year between Chicago and Detroit along the "I-94" corridor. And it bugs me to no end that I have to turn off my cruise control becuase someone has decided that they can drive 70 in the left lane while the right lane is wide open. FYI - I routinely move the right, no matter my speed, as soon as I pass slower traffic.

Going the Speed Limit is not driving slow, it's called obeying the law, if you drive faster, you are a lawbreaker and you deserve to be fined.

Yes, you are right. I would like to point out that your posts on this thread indicate that you drive the speed limit in the left lane and all those "who deserve to be fined" should not complain about your obstructionism. I find your attitude explicitely like those whom I pass using the right lane on a regular basis. Next time you see my moniker on a pair of license plates throwing 'get to the right' signals, think of me...

Lastly, when I do drive to see my family 260 miles away, I appreciate the extra 1/2 hour I gain by driving 'a bit faster'. So, please, move the right...

People either have autobahn etiquette or they don't. The slow left lane, stubborn crowd need to experience driving in Europe and see what happens to people there who sit in the left lane, blocking the flow. Normally, we do well to ignore Europe but in this one case, there are many here who have a lot to learn from the Euros.
