You mentioned getting passed which should only ever happen, in civilised countries with sane traffic laws, on the left. (modulo countries which drive on the left where it's the right).

Like, breaking the speed limit gets you a ticket over here. Overtaking on the right can easily mean losing your license and having to undergo a psych exam as they take such things as an opportunity to accuse you of racing on public roads.

They're in the right lane and getting passed by cars on the left. I'm really confused by what you're trying to say. What makes you think they're blocking traffic?

This:

Problem is when you get passed because other people aren’t driving legally.

Is what made me assume that they at least desire to block traffic by driving on the left at the speed limit. People breaking the speed limit might be a problem, but it isn't your problem.
