Breaking the law for real

This is probably the thing people understand the least about the left lane, and I bet this guy is one of em.

It doesn't matter what speed you are passing, as long as you are passing (and of course if you are barely passing youre a dick).

But not because im passing 10km/h faster and you want to pass 30km/h faster, that I need to move out of the way. Flashing your lights and putting your blinker only makes me want to pass slower. The left lane is not reserved for the fastest driver on the road.

I try to drive so I am as far away from other vehicles as possible. I also try to avoid ever inconveniencing other people. It doesn't matter if I'm going 140, if you come up behind me, I'm moving over to let you by - as quickly as I can while still being safe. I expect the same from others. Changing lanes isn't hard, I often move over to let someone by and then go back to continue passing.

Also, please stop passing on the right. You're just making everything worse.

I drive like a German: I only go on the left lane of a highway if I am passing someone.

Left lane is for overtaking. End of story

If you finished overtaking you go back to middle or right depending on the circumstances.

If you’re in the left lane, and there’s someone behind you but no one in front of you, move over and let them pass. Simple.

If someone comes up behind you, you should move to the right, even if there is a car to your right. You should just push them over to make way for the more important people who are speeding because they have important things to do and most get where they're going 15 seconds faster by speeding.

Left is for passing, if you’re just driving then you’re in the right lane until you come up on someone to pass

“Failure to yield” is a law in some places. You don’t get to lane camp.

Also, most states have “Keep right except to pass” laws. So if you’re not actively passing, you need to move over.

So yeah, they are breaking laws.

I once went to a conference as a vendor and they hired a temp to go with us to do a lot of the grunt work and had him drive the van there and back. He would drive under the speed limit in the left lane. When I couldn't take it anymore and finally said something, he said, "I like driving in the left lane!"

They had to practically hold me back from strangling him.

I'm much calmer these days.

I can't begin to describe how much I disagree with this. The speed limit is the limit to how fast you are legally allowed to drive. No lane legally enables you to go faster. The attitudes normalizing speeding are stupid. You're not entitled to go dangerous speeds.

From right to left, the lanes are for drivers who follow the laws as written, the laws as enforced, and the laws of physics.

A lot of misunderstanding here, as should be expected, considering the topic and the reality it relates to.

Let's put it simply: if you're "passing" in the left lane and there's space between the first vehicle you're overtaking & the next one, and those also passing behind you are going faster than you prefer/are capable of? No biggie. Just say these words along with me, ok?

Get. The fuck. Over. 🤗

You can continue your Sunday afternoon cruise after the adults have left you behind.

See those lights/blinkers in your mirrors? They're for you and because of you. Get. The fuck. Over.

And, if you feel the urge to whine about it, that's fine too. Out of the passing lane. 🤷🏼‍♂️

It's pretty simple: not the fastest vehicle in the passing lane? GTFO. You can harumph to yourself about life not being fair once you're no longer CAUSING FUCKING TRAFFIC, chucklehead. 🤣🖕🏽

This sounds like where I live. Everyone is either going 20 over the limit or 10 under it the whole way and both are constantly trying to change lanes for no legitimate reason lol

I've seen so many wrecks because of assholes trying to go 85-150 MPH on a god damn road. The comments here enforce the idea that people are just selfish, self centered motherfuckers when it comes to driving on the highway. There is a posted fucking speed LIMIT for a god damn reason. Leave earlier if you want to get to your fucking destination on time.

IT'S CALLED THE FUCKING PASSING LANE FOR CHRISTS SAKE! FUCK!

Just remember fool, ONLY ONE LAW AT A TIME.

While I understand you deserve to pass in the passing lane, I do to. The cars to my right are going 55, I'm going 60. I would love to get over but I'm passing the people going 55. If I were to get over, I would be doing 50.

As soon as it is safe, I will allow you to pass. Sorry about the delay.

If you aren't going 90mph on your way into Detroit you're causing a traffic jam. Full stop.

People driving slowly in the passing lane (left most lane) just make everyone else less safe: https://www.vox.com/2014/6/16/5804590/slow-left-lane-driving-rules-us-traffic-illegal

If you truly wanted to break the law for real, you'd be alone in the carpool lane going 115mph.

I rarely see law enforcement go after the people driving like aggressive idiots. Always the poor Joe late for work going 5 mph over...

Fuck cars.

ACAB includes civilian speed traps

I hate the truck that always rides your ass like Bruh I can't go any faster than the Goober in front of me.. CHILL

this only applies to not very congested roads. I'm la type areas where there's always traffic it doesn't work
