That may be fine, some people do have vehicles they feel uncomfortable 
driving that fast, But the "gentleman" clearly stated the driver was 
doing this lower speed in the *left* lane and that to me is a "moronic" 
driving symptom.


>Were these people breaking any laws Big Papa Crab ?.
Perhaps so, how about obstructing the flow of traffic--as the "gentleman"
did declare that multiple cars were being held up.  In some states
it is an illegal practice driving if 5 or more cars are behind you and
are seeking to pass, but cannot because of your speed.  Outside of law it
is common and "expected" courtesy practice to stay out of the way of
"faster" (whatever speed that will be in any situation) cars by moving
over from the left lane to not obstruct a faster moving vehicle.

Tim, IMO what you describe in the above paragraph is in itself a problem.
If you are truly paying attention as a driver, you would know to move
over for a rapidly approaching vehilcle such that there would courteously
be no need to "flash you" to get your attention back on your driving.
Faster drivers in the Left lane, slower drivers in the Right lane, and
its all relative.  You want to go slower than someone else, do it in the 
Right lane, that way you can hold up as many people as you want and no
one has to flash you, they just get the privledge of going around you in 
the Left lane.
