The last two weeks I have been on a trip to the US East Coast and have not updated my blog as much as I wanted.

Anyhow, just a short note and query.  I am sure American drivers will know what to advise me on this one. I was with some friends driving through the US freeway, which has a speed limit of 65 mph.  At any rate, they said that I could go as fast as 65-70 mph legally which I did.  But they also asked me to do something which I did not quite comprehend.  They say the innermost lane is supposedly a fast lane, and is to be used only when you overtake cars.  So I should not be in that lane constantly.

But if I am going to already as fast as the limit allows me, should I still allow or expect other cars to overtake me?

So, if I am going almost 70 mph in a 65 mph speed limit zone, do I have the right to drive in the innermost lane all the way?
