Leaving the left lane for faster traffic is not an unwritten rule of
the road.  Unenforced, maybe, but not unwritten.  So far as I know, the
law in all states is that slower traffic keep right.  This is certainly
the case in Washington and Texas (in the latter state, I've heard of the
self-appointed guardians of public morality being given tickets).

By the way, I really think that the whole discussion of whether or not
to pull over immediately has gotten 'way too warm.  It's degenerated
into a pretty raucous series of personal attacks, that really have no
place here.  One of the nice things about this group has always been
that we're all friends (unlike, say, net.religion).  So come on,
everybody, ease up a bit.
