Doesn't make LLBing correct. Cops are revenue collectors in this aspect
of their job and speeding is of higher revenue.

There wouldn't be 'lane-swevers' if passive aggresive types. like
yourself weren't blocking the passing lane. And the root cause is bad
lane displine in general, which your kind is the greatest contributor.

There is no lane most consistant with my speed. I am either passing or I
am not. I choose my lane based on that.

May you only encounter drivers like yourself, except slower. Much slower.
