When someone is going faster than you are, the courteous and rational thing to do is to give way to them when you can.
The speed limit, the behaviour of the following vehicle - flashing, tailgating, 'looming up behind', any of the things rapid drivers are accused of by mimsers, any of the things genuinely boorish drivers do - none of these things have anything to do with the case. We are talking about driving, and the rest is just blah.
I don't understand the OP's contention that he would have 'inconvenienced' someone in lane 1 by giving way.
To stay in the outside lane when someone wants to pass is quite simply despicable. In some cases it is asking for trouble too. I have even seen people on HJ asserting that they would get in the way of the fuzz or fire brigade rather than 'risk' their virginal little licences.
Can't stand these toerags. God knows they are everywhere too. Getting in my way. HJ recommends undertaking the twerps, and I have to say that although it doesn't come naturally I have lately started to do it.
