That “Keep Right/Left” unless overtaking rule is stupid. It fails as soon as there is: an off/onramp, a speed limit, more than 2 lanes. It causes cars to break other road rules.

Not American. Yeah illegal to undertake. But go on a motorway and see the keep left/right rule fail almost instantly.
It’s illegal in a lot of the US too (depends on the state), but it’s never enforced
It’s curious you’re so concerned about the speed limit but so flippant about breaking another clearly stated law about how you’re supposed to operate your vehicle.
I’m saying the keep left/right rule on motorways conflicts with other rules. That’s why that rule fails
What other rules would be broken? I can't think of one. Sometimes you have to adjust your speed. You should always be looking ahead to anticipate if a lane change would cause a problem.
The funny thing is that there is so much anxiety and rage built over being a bit faster or first in line, and yet most of the time all the anger at being stuck in a lane or slow is an illusion as the entire traffic mass is moving at the speed limit or higher. It is just your relative perception and you'll still get to your destination at the same time.
The same thing happens in slow traffic. People spend so much energy trying to weave back and forth between lanes, almost causing collisions, only to stop a few feet again.

Learn to merge. When the exit ramp comes and the right lane slows, pass in the left lane and move the fuck back. You know what happens when you left lane camp, road rage and everyone speeds up to zoom in the right lane causing a danger to everyone els. Because your ass can’t merge and feel you’re special to be in the left lane does not mean you’re right for thinking you’re doing the speed limit. If someone wants to go fast pass you, you’re not the traffic police to block them and cause the speeder to road rage even more. Left lane camping causes road rage and is unsafe.
