Apparently it's only for passing even though I wasn't the only one driving in the left lane!

I believe that was the law when I took my first drivers license test (1986 in Oregon), and it has consistently been the law ever since in all of the places I have lived, including 6 different states, and one foreign country (it's a huge deal in Germany). It's one of the most consistent traffic laws that you will ever find, and for good reason. People who misuse the left lane by driving in it instead of correctly using it for passing only cause very dangerous situations. I have personally witnessed 2 fatal accidents that have been a direct result of this practice.
