I've been road-raged doing the speed limit in the right-hand lane. You shouldn't be bothering people doing that, but people aren't rational.

It's really better and safer to drive at a speed similar to the speed of the rest of traffic. If the speed limit is 55 mph and the pace speed lies between 65 to 75 mph, then the minimum speed you should be driving is 65 mph.

Having less speed variance leads to smoother flow and traffic that's more spread out. That increases safety overall.

The pace of traffic is 55 mph when police cars are around.
