If I am driving 5-10 mph over the limt activly passing. Should I be getting over so the inconsiderate person who is illeaglly tailgating me can get by and I get stuck in the slow stream which is 5-10 mph below the speed limit. If so is there ultimatly any limit? Does the rightaway belong to the fastest driver?
If you are "actively passing" and there is somebody behind you who wishes to go faster, you should move to the right as soon as you are done passing and there is room to do so. If the traffic to your right is so heavy that you cannot move over, the person behind you SHOULD understand that there is simply no where for you to go. What you could do is put on your turn signal to indicate your intent to move over at the first opportunity.
And yes, then you will have to wait to move back out and pass again. But it shouldn't be a long wait, unless you were holding up a LONG line of traffic, in which case you should have moved over long ago.
To answer your last question, yes, the right-of-way belongs to the fastest driver. It is not your responsibility to police other drivers and attempt to keep their speeds in check -- leave that to law enforcement. They may be breaking the law by speeding, but you are also breaking the law by impeding the flow of traffic if you do not move over when you can.
