That being said, I can't STAND people who tailgate you when there is a line of traffic in front of you. Obviously, I'm not going to move over, because there's 20 cars in front of me all going the same speed.
In other words, don't slow the left lane down. However, if the lane is crowded - and there's nothing you can do about it - then don't ride up my ass.

Also, willravel... in most states you can pass on the right as long as there are 3 lanes or more not including "special" lanes such a time-of-day lanes or HOV lanes.
Just as annoying, and to add to the thread, what about people who wait until the last second (or sometimes longer) to merge out of their lane that is ending? I hate this even more and tend to be the guy that goes over the line so they cannot pass me on either side until they have no choice but to be behind me. I've done this for years, even in a small sporty car, and have never had an issue. I've had people in big F-350's try to bully me by getting right on my ass and honking... but since they are not only violating safe driving rules, but also being rude assholes, I don't mind so much.
