I don't know if it's been mentioned, but you can get fined for driving under or near the limit in the designated fast lane on the highway.

2(1)(b)
Drive at less than / near maximum speed in designated
fast lane outside urban area Fine: $115

Here's what the rules says:

Slow moving vehicles
3(1) If a person driving a vehicle is driving the vehicle on a highway at a speed that is less than the normal speed of the traffic on the highway at that time and place and under the conditions then existing, that person shall drive the vehicle
(a) in the right traffic lane then available for traffic, or
(b) as close as practicable to the right curb or edge of the roadway,
except when either
(c) overtaking and passing another vehicle travelling in the same direction, or
(d) preparing for a left turn at an intersection or into a private road or driveway.

Funny how the bolded part say "at a speed that is less than the NORMAL speed of traffic, and not "up to the speed limit". My understanding is if the "normal speed of traffic" is 125km/h on hwy 2, which is what 75% off the drivers do, that means you should .. well... like 4x4 said.. Get the f*** out of the left lane.
