Absolutely, though if the hypothetical subject were also tailgating I would 
not be pleased.  In this country, in this state at least (Wisconsin--and 
most others), the left lane is for passing only.  Unless you're passing 
someone that situation shouldn't even occur, and the faster car has right of 
way--though the slower car obviously does not have to vacate the passing 
lane until it is safe to do so, by which time the pass will probably have 
been completed anyway.
