If you are doing 100 kph (as the speed limit), you are at the max speed limit. My question is, do you have the right to hog the inner lane? Aren't those going faster than you violating the speed limit which is in turn also violating the set law?
who violates what? As for my case, isn't it more dangerous for me, weaving in and out of the overtaking lane?

Actually, I also have a similar predicament. I sometimes just hog the left-most lane (overtaking lane) once I have cruise control set to 100km/h. Of course, if there's an incoming car faster than that, I either (a) make way and move to the 2nd lane or (b) speed up. I find myself using the B option more often

so far, hindi pa naman nahuhuli (sir, nasobrahan pagtapak sa gas

)

Always give way to the faster vehicle. Simple as that. So long as your lane change maneuvers are done properly. They are not considered dangerous.

I'm driving a V8 powered wagon yesterday but still had to give way to a MB100 who was driving faster than me.

It is not up to us to enforce the law. We just have to abide by it. Let the speedsters get apprehended at the exit. Some of us actually have the legal right to break the speed limit even when on board our unmarked vehicles (aka POV's.).

And sometimes, we need to briefly nudge the limit for safety purposes. E.g. when I get stuck behind a gravel truck and my rig (and windshield) are getting pelted with stones, I pull ahead to overtake then resume cruising at the speed limit after I have pulled ahead of him at a pretty safe distance (e.g. 350 feet ahead).

kung nasa leftmost lane kayo at max speed na kayo then another vehicle is approaching higher than the speed limit, it is not your problem kung overspeeding sya. just stay on the open rightmost lane.

yup. pull aside, let him pass at whatever speed he's going. let the cops chase him down, that's their job not yours.

if you want to go as fast as he's going, then let him by and accelerate right behind him. and risk getting caught as he might be.

yan ang dinahilan ko sa nlex patrol nung hinuli ako dahil sa over-speeding, "sir nasobrahan pagtapak sa gas", pero pumunta pa din ako ng lto east para tubusin license ko.
