Well, there are some folks whose cars are really not very good at
going fast.  At 75, an '85 Ford Escort is uncomfortible.  At 80, it
shakes like a leaf.  As long as the slower moving vehicles keep out of
the way of the faster ones (i.e., stay on the right), they should not
be chastised for knowing the mechanical limits of their vehicle.
