You sound like the DB in this scenario.

Well, the law and reasonable people disagree with you. Sorry.

Yeah, when the douchebag in the passing lane sees faster traffic approaching and actually moves over into the slow lane so overtaking traffic can pass on the left.


Pretty sure the OP is referring to a situation when there is moderate traffic and there's a long line of people in the left lane behind an 18-wheeler slowly passing another 18-wheeler. In which case there is no way to know that some d-bag behind me wants to go "faster" than me. I mean, all the cars jammed up in the left lane want to go faster than 62 mph, but some d-bag isn't satisfied with me leaving a safe distance so he feels the need to fill that gap. I don't leave a safe gap for you to come fill it. I leave it so that I can safely follow in the long line of cars that are going the same forced speed.

You keep talking about the law. Again, does someone driving slower in front of you in the left lane absolve the following driver from observing laws about following too closely, failure to control speed or the prohibition against unsafe lane changes?

Are you also a fan of lynching?

You keep moving the goal post and creating strawmen. Literally, no one in this thread has agreed that any of the things you've listed should be legal.I

It's even more fun when some idiot jumps on my arse to not let someone over, so I open a gap and let them in front of both of us.

For dumbasses like you and others in this thread that need everything spelled out to them exactly, I didn't say I'm driving slow in the fast lane, holding up traffic. I am in the fast lane, going faster than the right lane, but it is bumper to bumper, passing slower cars on the right. The DB whips into the right lane and tries to pass everyone in the left lane, wanting to slip back into the left lane at the bumper of the slow vehicle in the right lane.

I just hope you don't kill or injure someone driving like an idiot trying to regulate traffic

trying to pass the long line of cars in the left lane, so you leave a gap just big enough for him to see it, but you close it at the last second, watching him get passed by ten cars in the left lane? It's even a little better when after he has to fall back, he is further back than when he started his jackass move.




Yes, as a matter of fact there is.

When some DB cuts off someone passing perfectly legally purely out of spite and that someone turns out to be an unmarked patrol car.

Then you get a very deserved citation for "aggressive driving", which is a good deal more serious than a moving violation like speeding.

I'm not moving a got damn thing.

"Officer, that slower car forced me to rear end them or whip over into another lane, causing a wreck."

BS.

Someone needs to stay in the right lane.

You don't realize it because you can't follow the argument being made.

In some states, passing someone going slower does not preclude a citation.
