We don't want you to speed up, we want you to move to the right lane. People drive at a speed that feels comfortable for them; if you accelerate to 80 to satisfy the guy behind you, you're now driving out of your comfort zone, and we know that eventually you slow back down until you're in your comfortable zone again - and we'll still be stuck behind you. As a driver whose comfort zone is 78-80mph, I'm not that aggressive, but I do get bothered when someone just won't move to the right lane when the situation allows it. If I'm stuck in a line of cars doing 70, then I'll patiently wait in the line. If I'm stuck behind you at 70 while you're passing someone, I'll wait patiently. But if the right lane is open, you need to move over - not speed up.
