You're impeding traffic.No one is being impeded except someone that is driving recklessly to start with. That is not a problem. Everyone else on the road is better off without that guy diving in and out of traffic at 40-50 over the limit.If you're in the left lane, it causes those people to weave more, not less. If the left lane is clear, they won't need to weave as much.If the road is fairly open, yes.But typically when I find myself in this position the other two lanes are plugged with semis, etc. and they have to just sit there and do the speed limit like the rest of us. I thought you were going 5 - 10 over the speed limit.Yes, 5-10 so that even if the speedometer is off a bit no one is being forced to go less, and also so I can pass trucks and sit in that optimally safe part of the speed curve.

I live near a sand and gravel company and every time I’m on that road, a giant dump truck loaded with dirt will always pull out in front of me when I’m doing 45 in a 40. Very annoying.
