There are cases of people getting obstruction of traffic tickets for going at the speed limit. It happened in Toronto. One guy got a speeding ticket in the merge lane, so in a pique he did the posted limit in the fast lane, which normally moves 15-20 mph faster than the limit. He caused a traffic jam and got an obstruction ticket. He fought the ticket and lost. Sorry, can't find a link now.

Many roads also have signs and states have laws along the lines of stay right except to pass. So if you're not actively passing in the left lane, you're breaking the law in many places even if you're going at the speed limit. I expect few tickets are given out for this even though it causes dangerous behavior.
