If you are in the left lane and people are tailgating you, move. If you are in the right lane and they are tailgating, they can move to the passing lane. Simple.

The only exception is if you are in the left lane actively passing slower traffic on the right, and intend to get back in the right lane when it is safe.

Otherwise, 100% with you

Yes; it grinds my gears when I’m passing someone at a reasonable rate of speed and some dumb fuck gets right on my ass despite this. And not only that but I won’t immediately change lanes in front of someone when I’m done passing them; I’ll wait until I’m at least 3’ish car lengths ahead of them for safety’s sake, and so they won’t feel like I’m cutting them off. But people don’t even think about this shit; it doesn’t even cross their mind. It’s hard for me to believe the degree to which people don’t think, in general. But it is what it is so I can’t get too mad at someone who’s simply following their nature lol.

Preach! They want to go 85-90 in a 60, and get mad when you are "only" doing 5-7 over.

Always funny to see them go flying past, only to get caught in a speed trap a mile ahead!

Have you ever thought that maybe it's a two lane road,?

the problem I've noticed is that people will tailgate you in the right lane and not pass, which is generally what OP is talking about. also, of course they'll pass eventually, the problem is the tailgating in the first place, so being like

>they can move to the passing lane. Simple.

is a bit irrelevant in this case
