Amen X1000!

I honestly think many folks do it thinking they have blue lights on the top of their cars and it is their job to keep everyone else driving at or below the speed limit or they just enjoy pissing faster drivers off. What they don't realize is that cars piling up in a big wad is far more dangerous than someone going 4-5mph over the posted speed limit!!

Then there are the drivers in the fast lane that speed up to cut you off when you start to pass them on the right side!!

It all boils down to courtesy and giving faster drivers the right of way (even if you don't agree with their driving). The German Autobahn is the safest highway in the world and it has no speed limit! You can pass a policeman at 100mph but don't let him catch you using lanes improperly!!

And yes I do stay in the right hand lane when towing and time my use of the fast/passing lane to avoid impeding other drivers as much as practical.
