16. You can't drive ANY speed in the left lane if you are not passing traffic and someone is behind you.

If someone is behind you and you are not passing traffic and:
You are doing less than the speed limit, move over to the the right.
You are doing the speed limit, move over to the the right.
You are doing more than the speed limit, move over to the the right.

If someone is behind you and you are passing traffic and:
You are doing less than the speed limit, move over to the right when you can safely move over.
You are doing the speed limit, move over to the right when you can safely move over.
You are doing more than the speed limit, move over to the right when you can safely move over.

This is not rocket surgery.

Let the other drivers think what they want. Just drive safely and legally.
