That's what those signs mean when they say "Keep Right Except to Pass" or "Slower Traffic Keep Right"
so you are saying all cars should be in the right lane until they want to pass?

and since the only cars you need to pass, if everyone is going the speed limit in the right lane, are those cars going slower, when would you ever need to exceed the posted limit, even to pass?

sorry, you have it backwards. both lanes are for driving the speed limit, but if you need to go slow (use right) and if you need to pass those slower cars, because you are driving the posted limit in the right lane, then you should use the left lane (at the posted speed) to do so.

show me ONE citation where it is ok legally to go over the posted limit, in any lane for any reason?
