so then, isnt it tolerable that the person does not move to right lane? eitherway. the concluston is that one of them will be breaking the law
Therefore, if one is doing the maximum speed limit, might as well stay in the left lane?

Are people that want to speed have priority in breaking tha law?
That is the most fucked up logic I've heard in a while.

Assuming the car behind hasn't already passed the person driving the maximum posted speed limit on the left lane, it's just pure etiquette and manners to not be blocking/holding up traffic in the left lane.

No, there is no "priority" list of laws to break, but at least when somebody speeds, they're not pissing anybody off (assuming they're not constantly cutting people off) Whereas if somebody is in a rush, or itching to get somewhere and you decide to match the speed of the driver in the right lane, prepare to be tailgated like no tomorrow.

It's like asking "hey, can I not let that guy merge onto the highway?" Yes, you can, because its the traffic thats coming in who has to "Yield". But it's just common etiquette.
