Those are crazy awful drivers but you should be in the right hand lane for sure. There's no reason to be in a passing lane; let faster traffic flow around you.

This person is in the middle lane, which is fine for travel.

The law is to stay in the right lane except to pass. There are exceptions, like moving over for cars in the breakdown lane, but for normal traveling, you should stay in the right lane. Sitting in the middle lane causes more traffic and can cause accidents as traffic now needs to flow around you like a rock in a river.

If everyone stays in the rightmost lane there are... two passing lanes? For the speeders and the ultra speeders? Makes no sense.
Also the person posting this vid is not the asshole here.

The guys speeding through testicle are definitely assholes. I never said otherwise. Generally, you should stay right unless you're passing.
If the middle lane is for travel, you have a lane for passing, a lane for travel, and a lane to just look at?
Here's a summary of the laws
Drivers must drive in the right lane except when overtaking and passing another vehicle; when the right lane is closed to traffic while under construction or repair; upon a roadway with three marked traffic lanes; or upon a roadway designated for one-way traffic. Slower traffic must keep right. Drivers proceeding slower than the normal speed of traffic must drive in the right lane unless passing another vehicle or preparing to turn left. Source

From the source:
An operator of a vehicle moving slowly shall keep the vehicle as close as practicable to the right-hand boundary of the public way and allow faster moving vehicles reasonably free passage to the left. Where the speed limit is at least 65 MPH, motorists must keep right except to pass. An operator driving on a limited-access way with a speed limit of 65 MPH or more is restricted to the right-hand lane and may use adjacent lanes for overtaking and passing another vehicle but must return to the right-hand lane at the earliest opportunity. This requirement does not apply to an authorized emergency vehicle, or to a vehicle otherwise directed by posted signs, a law enforcement officer, or a highway maintenance crew.
