How Much Does a Mile of Road Cost?

I drive at the speed limit as well - the number of people you see doing 60mph in the middle lane though is worrying. I see that as the dangerous thing (and would argue that it inherently makes changing lanes more dangerous as you have 3 trafficked lanes, rather than 2 with a usually empty middle).

If you stick to the middle when the slow lane is even going faster than you, that's definitely the time to move over.

My aim is to be a good road citizen and obey by rules and convention to ensure everyone's journey is smooth, not only my own.

If you think of the lanes as one driving lane and the others as overtaking lanes like they do in the UK or some other countries then there is no conception of slow or fast lane and there are no people going slower in the overtaking lanes, or someone with a faster car just hogging the outside lane. They have to move over always.
