Re: Pilot online.
There needs to be a huge, state wide DMV/VSP campaign over this issue. People in this area actually feel they have the right to occupy the left lane as long as they are travelling at or near the PSL. They are also the first ones to get pissed off at some one riding their ass to press the point. I've have driven from Maine to Florida, out to Texas and Washington State. Virginia, IMO, is the worst I have seen for this.

Re: Pilot online.
I want to put a sticker on my windshield that I saw driving up to Maine last year in my rear view mirror. A white Maxima with MD plates had a sticker on the top of the windshield that was completely backwards but looked correct in your mirror that said, " SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT". He followed me weaving through traffic and we both pulled off to a rest area. I gave him props for it...he said he went to a sign shop and had it custom made. He told me he was following behind me because he saw my radar detector. I had to tell him it wasn't a detector....it was my Siruis receiver.
