Hmm...i'm behind Rarley on this issue.

First of all, you have pretty peculiar driving discipline in US. In sweden (and i believe most of europe) left lane is for overtaking only. You are supposed to get back into right lane when your overtaking manouver is done. Also, if somebody is passing you, you should do everything to make it easier for him, starting to accellerate when somebody begins overtaking you is criminal here. Generally, it's not allowed to pass somebody on the right side and such thing, if seen by police, will get you charged...it's only allowed on multi-lane road in case that queues develop.

This kind of wild behaviour (that Aurel talks about) is usually reserved for testosterone-ladden youngsters (often car-enthusiasts). Not everybody can afford P-car, so you'll see them in ricers more often.
