Just drive in the slow lane and you won’t have this problem. The people cutting in front of you rarely want to be in the slow lane.

I do drive in the slow lane frequently - and this still occurs. (My go to is to set my cruise 6-9 mph over the speed limit, if passing to smoothly pass and get back over, and spend as much time as possible in the slow lane. ) However - I will say most of the roads I’m on are 2 lanes of traffic. I will have to experiment and see if this doesn’t occur when there are 3 or 4 lanes.

  The idea of cruising 15km/h over the limit is absolutely crazy to me. That will get you 3 points and a minimum $500 fine here. We have "average speed zones" too!

    Where I live travelling at that speed will get you passed by every cop and state trooper driving on the same road. A lot comes down to local norms and enforcement.

      In Alabama on the interstates and highways the rule of thumb is: "8 you're great, 9 you're mine."

    There are different norms in the U.S. - where I am- generally 5 mph over the posted speed on side roads, and ~9 over on interstates / highways. You are very unlikely to get stopped for either of those. Another commented using an example of 8 and 9, but here it’s “9 you’re fine, 10 you’re mine”.

    Apologies - you’re correct. I should have been more specific in that I was referencing the scenario of: I’m car 2, waiting to pass car 1. (Who’s passing a car slowly ). I have safe following distance. Car 3, passes me in the right lane, and then either follows car 1 closely, or, quickly passes them on the right. (Usually as they’re in the process of moving over, causing them to then swerve back). I realize I communicated this in an absolutely abysmal fashion.

    Well, if there is an emergency lane to the right... it actually happens quite a bit around here.

In Southern California the "fast lane" is the medium speed lane, and the "slow lane" is the actual fast lane. It's where people tend to weave in and out of traffic at 15-25 mph speed differentials.
