If you were to move over, I'd give the guy doing 70 in a 50 zone a ticket because he was speeding.
However, if you stayed in the left after you'd pass and the line doing 70 approaches you and has to slow down because you refuse to move. I'd give both you and the people doing 70 a ticket.
You for obstructing the flow of traffic and the other guys for speeding.
I guess this is a pretty good reason why I'm not a police officer.

What do you think happens if an unmarked CPS car pulls up behind you on Deerfoot doing 105 and you have to speed up to have room to move over? They don't praise you for your good thinking to keep traffic moving, I can promise you that much.
They give you a ticket and go on their merry way. Sure it might only be if it is close to the end of the month, but you are seriously fooling yourself if you think that CPS won't pull you over in that situation.
