It's called 'Slow driving impede/block traffic' and it's $115

No, you are also incorrect. The link below indicates the exact wording for your reference.

Quote:
Based on the Regulation 304/2002:
2(1) A person shall not do any of the following:

(b) where a highway that is located outside an urban area has 2 or more traffic lanes on the same side of the centre line for use by vehicles travelling in the same direction, drive a vehicle in the traffic lane nearest the centre line unless the vehicle is being driven at or near the maximum speed permitted;

(c) Notwithstanding subsection (1)(b), a person driving a vehicle on a highway at a speed that is below the maximum speed limit that is established or prescribed for that highway may drive the vehicle in the traffic lane nearest to the centre line for the purpose of overtaking and passing another vehicle.

There is nothing, I repeat, nothing against the law about driving the speed limit in the left lane, even if there is a "slower traffic keep right" sign. Period, end of story.

To Resolutes repeated (and correct) offering, it is about courtesy... to allow the speeders through.

And to You Need a Thneed, I would be interested in a link to the story you are indicating. Ontario very well may have some different laws.
