Maybe he wanted to get by and was behind you a lot longer than you noticed?
Anyway , Keep right except to pass is the rule. I never heard of it being enforced that way either but I do know thats the rule.

Happened to my brother traveling to the Cape for a job......same thing. Pulled him over for driving in the left hand lane. Officer said the left lane was for passing only!! You gotta be kidding me.

Although the "law" states that the left lane is for passing only, it's really for SPEEDING only, as the only people that pass you are usually doing 80-90 in a 55-60 zone.
It never ceases to amaze me, that no matter what speed I travel, there will ALWAYS be some idiot that HAS to go faster, and he starts by tailgting me in whatever lane I'm in.
If there is sufficient traffic on a 2 lane road, and I'm in the left lane, then good luck! I won't speed up to satisfy the clown behind me, and I will change lanes when I feel it's safe to do so, and not before then.
That doesn't mean I will purposely get in front of someone. It just means that I value MY safety more than most other drivers value theirs.

I do all my speeding in the breakdown lane when open during rush hrs since all the slow people tend to occupy the left most lanes.
My favorite is the person that merges onto a highway and immediately changes 2 lanes to the left to get into the high speed lane eventhough they are still doing only 40mph! Stay in the damn right lane until necessary to pass!

 Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

I tend to travel in the left lane because of the morons who don't know what yield means and haven't developed any skill at merging.
