There are two lanes for a reason. If you are not passing another vehicle, you should not be in the left lane, period. Too many people set their cruise at 70 and then set their brains to "off." I drive fast as hell, all the time, and rarely get passed, but am always in the right lane unless passing. If someone comes up on me, it is no sweat off my back to move over and let them by because they will be gone soon enough, and I have just let a faster car act as a "blocker" against nearby police.
Winner!
I don't understand people who think it is their god-given right to drive in the left lane....or those who think going 3-5 mph over the speed limit IS driving fast...so they should use the left lane.
Bottom line: Get your ass out of the left lane!
