Agreed..... in general, with their inaction, the authorities approve of this type of driving. They train drivers to think of the left lane as a "passing only" lane but do not enforce this rule. Honestly, I wonder if those drivers know what "passing" is ( many of us I'm sure, have observed the "twenty miles pass", that is to say "passing" a loosely strung row of three cars over twenty miles) or they no longer remember what they were taught. Going to be driving in Italy in a couple of weeks, I haven't driven there for over 30years... as I recall, the police there take a dim view of left lane "sauntering". Should be interesting.
