Court after court has affirmed that anyone going the maximum allowable speed by law has the right to the left lane as legally it cannot be slower traffic.

Show us one. The left lane is the PASSING lane, and nobody has a "right" to it. I've seen some seriously dumb crap posted on FR, and this just about takes the cake. Muahaha, what an idiotic statement.

In some jurisdictions, yes. In others, no.

The poster is probably a left lane bandit herself. ;)

Wrong as usual. You won't find a single instance of a single conviction of impeding traffic by someone going the maximum speed allowable by law. It's an affirmative defense in every jurisdiction.

Several states such as Alaska have it codified in easy to understand language for fellows such as as yourself who have trouble with the whole notion of what constitutes affirmative defense. See 13 AAC 02.050. sec b. of the Alaska code.

Upon all roadways outside an urban district, a vehicle other than an emergency vehicle proceeding at less than the maximum authorized speed of traffic must be driven in the right-hand lane or as close as practicable to the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway, except when overtaking and passing another vehicle
