Technically their not in the legal right to do that. A cop could, and should, write tickets for impeding traffic to those morons. Back in the 70's when I was in drivers ed in high school we were told the far left lane was for passing and emergency vehicles only, but traffic congestion got so bad over the years that became impracticable, but still people should not be in that lane unless their passing others whenever possible and never go slow in that lane just because they can't exceed the speed limit by even 1 mph.
