I do not think that anyone has a problem with failing to pull over from
the left lane in the above circumstances. However, if you are indeed
passing cars yourself, once you get to a sufficiently large gap to the
right of you, it is still courteous to pull over and allow faster
traffic through. I do not think you need to brake to do so (although
accelerating might be a good idea, depending on the speed differential
between you and the person behind you), nor should you endanger traffic
by trying to squeeze into a minimally large space. I very much agree
that if you're blocked by an entire freeway full of cars going the same
speed (i.e., you would be going faster, too, if you weren't being held
up), moving over makes little sense.
