You are driving the in the passing lane going 70 or so and are actively passing cars in the middle lanes. There are still cars riding you close wanting to get by.

as soon as there is an opening, you get over. That's the rule.

I thought the rule is when you are no longer passing

Is that the rule, or the "rule"?

if you're passing someone. But if the next car you'll be passing is 100 yards

That isn't the law

right - the 100 yard gap is just an example. Never meant to imply it's law

100 yard gap is a semi-important detail there.

that's entirely reasonable

Exactly my point. Thank you for wording it much better.

If I'm well over the speed limit, and moving to the right would require me to

It doesn't apply to over-the-speed-limit speeds. You think they'd pass a law

It is more dangerous to camp out in the left lane than speed

"If you're about to be overtaken get over to the next lane. Unless the other..."

if moving to the right means you have to merge into slower traffic, that would

I only drive in the passing lane and never go over 65.
