Perhaps we're arguing different points? If I used your logic, Jim, then no
one could ever use the passing lane. Even if a car was at 90 mph, it would
be blocking another car doing 100 mph regardless of how far behind the
second car was following.

I do agree with the premise (was it yours or Arif's?) that if a pass can be
completed without forcing an approaching car to slow down, that would be the
best scenario. But if a driver is exceeding the speed limit by a
significant margin like +25 mph then s/he needs to expect to be hindered at
some point. Either by another car or a LEO.
