Those people are wrong. On a 3+ lane highway, the right lane is for entering or exiting, the left lane is for passing, and the middle lane(s) is for cruising. Unless you're like, only doing 55 or something, in which case just get off the interstate and take surface streets.

You know, I was tempted to note (US) after the lanes. I see now that people get angry if you don't. The logic still applies though. The first lane is for entering/exiting. The middle are for cruising, driving a steady pace near the speed limit. The inside is for passing.

If there is an open lane to the inside, the person trying to pass someone already doing a reasonable pace should be the one making the change. If there's not, then yeah, the slower vehicle needs to go ahead and move over.

You'll get ticketed for that in the UK. Keep left (right) unless overtaking.

And compared to continental Europe, UK motorways are a horror show of asshats cruising in the middle lane with not a care in the world..
