Agreed but you also gotta be patient. Like that other commenter said, someone will come right up behind you going 90 and not even give you time to pass the cars on the right and move over before quickly passing on the right

Can’t count the times I’m doing 70/75 and someone is on my ass as I’m trying to pass a caravan of cars and then threads the needle once I pass the front car and cuts me off just to brake check

This isn’t death race/cannonball run and I’m not getting pulled over for doing 90 in a 55/65

Fuck them, I don't move for them, if I'm actively passing people on the right then I have just as much right to be in the left lane, they can fuck off with thier excessive speeding.

I think this is fine, but once you get past a line of cars and there's no one to your right, you're at fault for not pulling over and letting them pass.

Definitely don't have a problem with that and do just that when there is less traffic. What annoys me is someone trying to tail gate me or blinking thier headlights when I'm going with heavy traffic and the left lane is already moving past everyone on the right. Gtfo what that shit.

You seem to think putting people's lives in danger is cool. It's not a fucking competition nor is it a bad thing to actually give a fuck about other people's safety.

Exactly. They’re just as bad, if not worse than the people hogging the left lane going really slow

For me it is always a late model Altima or Hyundai, at least a Merc or BMW is meant to be an autobahn cruiser, unlike the 2007 Hyundai Elantra.

Some folks take the “GT” in “Escort GT” a bit too literally in these parts 😁

Bonus points if they start flashing their brights like a strobe light. How dare you not be 35 MPH over the limit?!

If there is enough room for them to pass you on the right then you need to get over or accelerate

No, that’s the thing. I haven’t moved over yet because there’s no room. Once there is room I’ll move over. But if I’m going 70-75 I’ll eventually get past them, it won’t take long. If the person behind me flies up on me going 90, they’re gonna have to slow down a bit and be patient

If there isn’t enough room they cannot get around you and they just have to wait so I must have miss understood your comment. If they don’t give you 3 car lengths to get over after you passed then they are the ass.

Yeah we're talking about people who are cutting people in the right lane off, using their safe following distance to then cut off the person in the left lane.
