Don't most highways have signs that say "Slower Traffic Keep Right" though? So that pretty much negates your argument. If you are slower than the traffic behind you, you should get into the right lane, until you're no longer slower, then get back into the left if you need to continue passing.
I woukd take that to mean if you are faster than the car in the other lane then you are good up until that's no longer the case (e.g. until you have passed them).
From the comment you replied to:
If you're not passing, get over. If you are passing, getting over means merging into another vehicle: don't do that.
Passing a car is an active endeavor, not something you languidly perform over a period of 5 minutes. If you're going 1 mph faster than the car in the right lane, you don't belong in the passing lane and are impeding the flow of traffic.
Cool story bro.
I literally said that in my original comment. Passing slow is just being a dick. (barely passing are the words I used).
Then i used the examples of 10km/h vs 30. Where did you get that 1mph is acceptable?
