Although the "law" states that the left lane is for passing only, it's really for SPEEDING only, as the only people that pass you are usually doing 80-90 in a 55-60 zone.
It never ceases to amaze me, that no matter what speed I travel, there will ALWAYS be some idiot that HAS to go faster, and he starts by tailgting me in whatever lane I'm in.
If there is sufficient traffic on a 2 lane road, and I'm in the left lane, then good luck! I won't speed up to satisfy the clown behind me, and I will change lanes when I feel it's safe to do so, and not before then.

That doesn't mean I will purposely get in front of someone. It just means that I value MY safety more than most other drivers value theirs.
