So when you pass someone you should change lanes back in front of them with less than a 1 car length gap?  |

You have no business in the left lane and you are probably one of those ass hats that pulls out in front of everyone to do 1mph over the limit and try to pass someone. Do is a favor and stay on the feeder road and don't get on the interstate.

My favorite is when truckers go into the left lane near an on ramp to make room for people merging onto the freeway. Then people will start passing them on the right preventing the trucks trying to to get back into the right lane.

Passing someone for going too slow and in turn you only go 2 miles faster and need an hour to get a big enough gap to feel safe to pass? no. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Quote HistoryQuoted:
If you are in that big of a hurry you should take a plane. Letting someone get at least 2 car lengths ahead of the person they passed is not unreasonable. I mean today for instance I was going about 75 passing a semi going probably 68-70. So I passed the truck reasonably quickly, it was only a matter of seconds before I'd be clear to get back over. But no, this guy in his little Honda Accord tried to split the gap right as I put my signal on. I was no more than 1.5 of my truck length ahead of the semi. That's simply unsafe driving no matter what way you spin it... yeah If I had been camping for miles and was taking my sweet time passing it would be one thing. I wasn't. I got over to pass then was going to get back over. That being said; I never pass on the right. |

The OP is really going to be triggered by this video from my dashcam. There is no law that says you have to pass on the left. I go through traffic, where ever there is an opening.
 Passing everybody on the right. Slow traffic blocking center and left. To trigger the OP even more, here is my 400 mile drive in 3 minutes video. Look how many cars I pass on the right because they are going too slow.  400 Miles in 3 Minutes - Atlanta GA to Georgetown KY - Driving I-75 |

Quoted:
??? The difference in speed between op(75) and the semi(68-70) would be 5-7mph, not 2. The only question I have is about OP's initial move to the left lane in the first place. If someone is coming up to slower traffic on the right and I am far back in the left(but close enough that I will catch them before they complete their pass) that's fine. No big deal. I can't fucking stand when people are pacing the person in front of them on the right for a long period of time, then as I come up to them in the left lane they decide "Oh shit, I better move over and pass this guy before Towely passes me!" and proceed to change lanes in front of me at the last second and pass the car they were pacing at 5-10mph less than I was traveling. |

There's the flip side to it... Sometimes you can see that if they aren't going to move over you have a very short window to get around. Do you take that opportunity and possibly cut off their lane change if they were going to be so kind or just hope they are going to be a gentleman and move over? I say gentleman because if it's a woman in front of me I already know she aint doing shit and I'm on my own. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Listen, I am GOING TO GET BACK OVER. Even if I don't, your ass can stay behind me until you have a reasonable time or distance has elapsed and it appears that I am NOT.

Maybe where you live.
Out here, any lane any speed and you can pass just about anywhere. If your slow ass is hogging the right and I can't get over in the left because another dbag is plugging that up, I can wait until the next ramp comes up and jump in that exit lane and pass you not a damn thing anyone is going to do about it. But as it stands, you are bitching about traffic................While the country falls apart

Why is your piece of shit car backfiring? Why are you not further ahead of the semi? Why are you on the road at all? If Im going 75 mph I am going 110 feet per second. If the vehicle I am passing is going 70, they are going about 102 feet per second. Which means that If I leave, at a minimum, 2 of my truck lengths it is only going to take me FOUR SECONDS to clear the vehicle I am passing sufficiently and start to merge back over. 4 SECONDS. |

The entire nature of this thread are the people who pass on the right before I have a chance to get over. It's not like it happens every time I drive, but it happens enough that it pisses me off because it is so dangerous yet so preventable. Not only is the car cutting off the vehicle that we both just passed, there is then the risk that as they try to zoom around me on the right so quickly, we end up hitting each other. You are conflating left lane camping, which yes is a pain the pass and then passing on the right is no big deal; with right lane passing before the vehicle ahead of you has had a chance to get back over. |

I pass on the right all the time. Let's be honest, if you aren't going 10-15mph over the speed limit on the freeway/highway/interstate then you are the problem. If you are going to do the speed limit just do us all a favor and stick to surface streets.
