Then you should move out of his way.  What if you got behind somebody going 65
on the fast lane?  Would you appreciate it if that person moved out of the way
for you?

That's why it's so wonderfully efficient in Germany.  I can do 220 km/h and
watch everybody really stay on the right while I keep moving back and forth and
even at 220 km/h, I would get back to the right whenever safe because there's
always somebody going faster than I am.
