However, your child analogy falls apart when you remember that you're
talking about an adult - an adult that is going to get very angry at a
person blocking the fast lane while he and others are trying to pass. Lets
be realistic here. If Kim is intentionally blocking others on the roads, she
doesn't deserve courtesy. Instead, she is more likely to be a victim of road
rage (something else she doesn't deserve, but far more likely). If she
manages to avoid that, and if one of those people she is blocking just
happens to be a cop, she may instead eventually get a ticket for not driving
on the right.


In some states, like Washington, you are in violation if you have 5
cars behind you regardless of the speed, and are required to pull over.

And yes, the police will ticket a person for interfereing with the flow
of traffic.
