According to a cop who once taught a traffic school class I was in, it is technically possible for someone to be ticketed for driving too slow ("impeding the flow of traffic"), even if they are doing the full posted speed limit if they are in the #1 lane and cars are going faster than them.
It probably never happens, but technically it is possible.
However, that was the instructor that said that there is no such thing as a "fast lane." That is just an issue of semantics. Sorta like saying that drunk driving is not illegal. There is no such language in the vehicle code about "drunk driving": although, obviously, "driving under the influence" (or whatever the proper legal term is) is naughty.
Since we have the "slower traffic keep right" laws, this would indicate that the faster traffic keeps to the left, with the fastest being the left, or "fast" lane.
But that is just me.
