It's not your responsibility (nor is it your right) to enforce the speed limit from your driver's seat. If there are people on the road who are attempting to drive faster than you are, move over so they can pass. It's safer for everyone involved.
I'm not talking about heavy congestion where every lane is packed with stop-and-start traffic or whatever. Under normal driving conditions, if someone has to change lanes to pass you on the right, you're the one doing it wrong.
Theoretically, sure. But I can't tell you how many times I've been in the left lane (passing someone or otherwise)
What's "otherwise" mean? If you're not passing someone, you shouldn't be in the left lane.
and had someone come flying up behind me doing 90-95, only to have that person zig zag around me at the first opportunity.
If there was room on the right for them to zig around you, why didn't you pull to the right? You had an opportunity to do so before they did.
Are there some maniacs on the road who drive recklessly? Sure. (Then again, he might be racing to the hospital to see a child clinging to life after a horrific accident or something - it's neither your responsibility nor your right to decide
why people are driving the way they are, either).
All you can control is what you do behind the wheel. Yes, some people drive improperly - that doesn't give you a pass to drive improperly too, and pretend that your version of improper driving is less of a problem than everyone else's.
At best, you're just taking a bad situation and making it worse.
