Or you could remain in lane 2 if there is an incoming junction ahead to better allow joining traffic safely in. Or maybe there is a hazard in the lane that the speeders behind you can't see.

Me thinks lane discipline is more complex and needs to evolve with conditions. If traffic is lightish but there are intermittent slow traffic in lane 1 and lane 3 is free and clear, staying in lane 2 may be a safer alternative that switching into lane 1 and then out again. Or if you are in lane 2 but with heavy traffic coming up behind and you are at the speed limit, staying out so you don't get stuck in lane 1.
