You can't possibly believe that is true. 100% legal doesn't always mean 100% safe, or 100% correct.
Please explain to me how going 100 kph in the left lane is safe when you have other vehicles in this lane going in excess of those speeds being forced to go around you. Don't you think it would be safer if you just moved over to one of the other lanes, where traffic is moving at your pace?
And don't give me the "well, the person going faster than me is breaking the rules!!!" bit. What's important is that traffic move in a manner that is safe for everyone. That "slower traffic keep right" sign doesn't mean "if you are driving below the speed limit, keep right" - it means exactly what it says it means... that means if you are going 100kph and a guy going 120kph is coming up behind you, then you need to move to the right to let him by. It's safer for him and it's safer for you and everyone else on the road.
At the end of the day, is it really a big deal for you to move over a lane? The only reason I can think of that a person might not move over is that they get some sort of sick pleasure out of forcing the person behind them to drive their speed and use "it's the rules" as justification.
