Has your vehicle passed or been passed more often?

Talking about passing cars with a buddy of mine the other day. Whether we had passed or been passed more often.
If you count passes on both 2 lane roads and on freeways and assume the overall average is a net zero (i.e., passed = getting passed), which side of the ledger are you on?
During my first 20 years of driving, I passed WAY more cars than ever passed me. In more recent years, I've slowed down, and my vehicle gets passed by just about everyone.
I figure that I'm still a slight net positive, but it's dropping daily, and pretty soon I'll be the a-hole doing 45 in the left lane wondering why everyone is giving me a 1-finger salute.

Passed more than been passed.

I drive like a paw paw. 5-6 mph over the speed limit max. I don't want to risk spilling the beer between my legs

Hold on I need to do the math.
12x100,00x12/15+Sunday church crowd/Br traffic x 100,000 = Passed more.

You need to get a hobby or a life if your wasting time asking and trying to answer something like this.

Never passed or been passed.
My big rig just sits in the left lane of the interstate going the exact same speed as the 18-wheeler in the lane next to me.

If I were a fly on the wall while you and your buddy were chatting I would find the nearest bug zapper and fly head first into it.

Why not just drive at a relaxed pace in the right lane?

People who get passed more often on the interstate don't post here. It takes reflective thinking skills to be able to formulate comments in a discussion and those people are completely blank inside.

When I first started driving, way more people passed me. Keep in mind, this is driving to and from school, so most of my classmates were pretty reckless.
For a period of time, I was passing most people then I got a speeding ticket. Now most people pass me

Is say there was a 3 year period in which I was never passed. I got a lot, and I mean a lot, of tickets.
Posted on 7/23/17 at 5:32 pm to FCP
No tickets yet and I intend to keep it that way
Posted on 7/23/17 at 5:37 pm to FCP
In my early 20's, I got 3 speeding tickets in one month.
Nipped that "passing others" bit in the bud pretty quick.
Minus the overalls, I've been a paw-paw for about two decades.

Pass and get passed just got of the autobahn a half hour ago. No matter how fast you go someone else is going faster. A little VW hatchback can only go so fast anyway.

How high were y'all?
Posted on 7/23/17 at 5:55 pm to FCP
The former.

My vehicle is the pace car on the interstate. Way more passes than times being passed

We count only blue cars skip the cracks in the street
And ask many questions like children often do
