Heres the rub though. Lets say you are going 15 MPH over the speed limit in the left lane, there is no one ahead of you. In your rear view mirror you see someone rapidly approaching. Really, and honestly, do you move over and let the faster vehicle pass or do you think to yourself that youre going fast enough and the lunatic behind you should either slow down, or find his own way around you? I don't usually cruise in the left lane, even at speeds higher than the posted limit. But in answer to your question, yes... under those circumstances I'd move over and let the faster car pass on the left. Really and honestly.
If someone wants to "run blocker" for me, I'll happily let 'em - and continue at my comfortable "10 MPH over" cruise.

My experiences must be skewed as I drive in SoCal, the land of personal entitlement and hub of the "Me" universe.
I should have figured that FReepers would have a much higher than average level of common sense and courtesy.
Thanks for your reply.
