re: What is the logic with not getting over in the right lane

Because people are stupid assholes who have no consideration for others or they are oblivious. Both should be piss planked in my opinion.

On 4 lane roads that are not limited access, such as interstate, I finally figured out that a lot of these people are going to turn left somewhere in the next 5 miles and can't handle the stress of merging into the left lane in that half mile before their turn.

The law says "use the left lane to pass slower moving vehicles". That is exactly what the car "only going 3-4 mph above the speed limit" was doing scenario in the OP.
No, in the OP the cars are staying in the left lane between the opportunity to pass. You should be in the left lane for the absolute minimum amount of time that is necessary to pass.

The law says stay in the right lane unless overtaking and passing a vehicle. You aren't overtaking a vehicle when you are a 1/4 mile behind it.
Suffering consequences has nothing to do with free will.

I will add:
It never fails, each time I drive 100 miles or so on the interstate, I will set my cruise control a few mph faster than the speed limit. By the end of my trip I will pass the same car 5 times, my speed never changed.

Slow down before you kill someone
Being a FF/EMT since 18, I was used to driving ambulances and fire apparatus code 3 in heavy traffic. I used to drive like a bat out of hell when I was a teenager and into my early twenties because I "know how to drive." Living in NY and DFW during those times, I was an extremely aggressive driver. My wife(no pics) is a former cop and took similar EVOCs. We also both know what can happen and why it's just not worth it. Years of seeing fatal consequences or hearing the excuses of survivors shows you it's not just coincidence or "wrong place at the wrong time." Its an overall attitude that people think they're more important and find out the hard way they aren't as good as they think they are.
Now having two small children, those few minutes gained are definitely not worth it.

It does for me. If I’m already going 9 over, as I normally do, and there’s a car that I’m going to pass rather shortly, you can wait your turn.
I don’t need to facilitate your unsafe driving.

I don't carry a gun in the car because I might use it. I have road rage and I really shouldn't but people are so stupid when driving.
My theory is people love being in their cars a lot more than I do and do not care if they get somewhere quickly. Like, "I paid for this car, insurance, tag, gas, upgrades and I'm going to enjoy it", then pull up to their government housing.

I don’t disagree. Let me get behind someone going 38 in a 40 and I’m vein popping red.
