its also illegal to drive in the left lane in Mass, unless you are passing.
but no one ever follows that law.
hell, on 3 lane highways you will always find people in the left lane with no one else around.
you will always find someone in the middle lane going 10 below the speed limit.
and you will always find someone passing in the breakdown lane becasue the other 3 lanes are occupied by vehicles going below the speed limit!

haha CSVT1214 got pulled over for not traveling fast enough in the left lane in MA once. link 
Other than that you're definitely right, but then again our highways are usually too crowded for the rules to be followed anyway.

On a 3-lane, I consider the middle to be the normal traffic lane, the far left to be for passing, and the far right for merging/exiting traffic. Not sure what the law says about that.

One of my friends owned a Fiat and he was bragging that we were going 170. That was 170 kph.
I went on a snow skiing bus tour in the Alps and the bus got passed by several Lamborghinis.
If the Italian police hold up a white disk with red bull's-eye on a short stick that means to pull over.

I try to drive in the right lane if possible. Even if there is 3 or 4 lanes. Though it's usually not possible because of the amount of cars entering/exiting. I like to go fast (of 10+ hours of highway driving last week, I was not passed once other than because of the flow of traffic), so in normal interstate traffic I end up in the left lane, constantly passing cars. If a faster car comes up behind me, I get out of their way, usually before they reach me if possible.

Trucks and people with campers are the worse about driving in the left lane. I've drove behind campers for miles and they never leave the left lane. The only way to pass is to use the right lane as a passing lane.
