It's illegal in Australia to not be overtaking in the fast lane. Main reason I'd move back there.

Still doesn’t mean you should tailgate. Yesterday the driver infront of me was tailgating like crazy and ended up crashing with car infront
gen87sis
Haha. I drive a full size truck. And I’m usually the one passing other drivers. But some dick wanted to tailgate me I couldnt even see 1/?
His tail lights, thats how close he was. So i brake tapped, he startled, and jumped over to the right lane. I then resumed my faster 2/?
Pace, and he did it again. So. I became the red car in this visual. His car was much lower, his hood would have gone under my bumper 3/?
And i keep a dash cam at all times

Red car should get a ticket for improper use of the passing lane. He is even allow to exceed the speed limit in order to return to the right

I HATE anyone who will not move out of the left lane, fuckers!
MrJBK99
So you can stay in it?
JABBATHEWOCKY
The problem is when I’m the red car and I’m going 80 and passing the yellow car, but green is going 95 and pissed that I’m in “his” lane..
ImgurEatSleep
That's fine, as long as you move over after you've passed. After you've let green pass, feel free to continue passing the next car.
valen00
so the moral of the story is if you obey the speed limit you have to weave in and out of traffic to let speeding drivers pass?
Don't block people doing stupid (illegal) stuff, that's what the police does. Give way if someone's driving faster than you.
As I said I have to weave in and out because I have cruise set and I'm overtaking people but not fast enough for people breaking the law
Is that a huge problem for you? As long as people keep their safety distance, you don't have to take off the CC. No space=pass next ones too
flippingbear
Spot on. That's the worst.
AnythingMuchShorter
Or in LA, there are like 8 lanes and even if you go 20 over people randomly switch 3 lanes, pass you on the right, and then switch 3 back.
50ShadesofCovfefe
As a truck driver, I can say that this shit gets old after a 12 hr shift.
Nah man, try being limited to 62 (J.B. Hunt), and having someone limited to 62.5/63/64 (Crete) that ABSOLUTELY NEEDS TO PASS YOU.
For anyone interested in why you shouldn't be slow in the left lane: https://youtu.be/4oqfodY2Lz0

I was the green car 1 day driving to work. Passed red and he got pissed with road rage and nearly hit me. Don't be that asshole
DownvoteIsTheNewUpvote
i stay 65mph all 99% of the way. too stressful passing people, constant speed change, watching blindside and braking incessantly.
7thor8thcaw
That's cool as long as you're in the right lane you're good.
People who break a lot on the high way (outside of heavy traffic) are usually inexperienced drivers. Just give more space and let off gas.
antman2988
And dealing with the majority of the people breaking road laws is annoying. People don't understand why there are so many car accidents...
Distracted driving is the leading cause of so many accidents: m.huffpost.com/us/entry/11722196
And how many of those distracted drivers are also speeding?

Speeding since they are too distracted to realize how fast they are going. Here's a good post where speeding is a singular cause attributed

Most likely it's Yellow went 68, Red went to pass and Yellow sped up...now you're stuck behind Red, and Yellow is really the asshole
People who don't get the concept. A passing lane is for passing. That's it. You're even allowed to surpass the speed limit just so you can >
DO YOUR PASSING AND GET BACK IN THE RIGHT LANE.
or run the other car off the road if they suddenly speed up!!! IT'S IN YOUR RIGHT!
Fairdinkums
What? Only if he was undertaking. Yellow sped up he's in the wrong
I just remembered we drive on the left. Sorry mate
clevecavs
So hitting the fucking gas and get out of the situation

Left lane is for passing, not speeding. If you’re not passing, get the fuck back on the right
MDAlchemist
This ^, and either way you still need to obey the damn speed limit.
QuantumPhysical
Yeah, downvote this guy. How dare he obey the law and suggest you do the same.
bigbootybigfoot
The worst is when you're in the slow lane someone flies up and then stays right in your blindspot. Your cruise control is set so you know t
They're the dick. So you try gunning it so the cars piling up have a chance to pass. But that ass hole guns it too. So you have to slow down
By 10 miles and hr so the ass won't hold everyone else on the highway up.
That's when the stabbing happened.....
Wakborder517
Yeah I hate that shit
Eastbridge
Or just follow the speed limit.
Police are starting to pay attention to the flow of traffic and ticketing those who aren't keeping up.
If there's a car going slower than the speed limit and you want to match the limit, you're allowed to go over the limit to pass him.
theprizefighterinferno
This is called Utah Formation, but you need at least 4 cars all doing the same speed in 4 lanes on I-15.

bustermokeev
I WISH they would only go 2 below, I always get someone who is going 30 in a 45 and when I cross line to pass them they speed up to 60.
iburnstuff
I downshift before any indication of passing, then It's WOT until I'm fully passed. If my engine is up past 4.5k, I can hit full output 1/2
nearly instantly. I rarely if ever fail to execute a pass this way.
altrdgenetics
its cause they arent paying attention and going easy on the gas, then when they see you in the side window they look down and realize.
fr1080f
Too many people forget the left is passing. Not travelling faster than everyone else for your entire trip. This tends to cause congestion.

What if red and yellow are both going 80 mph? Do you still hate him?
dronetalker
Yes. If you aren’t passing move over. Speed up do 90 and get out of the way or slow down and drop behind the other car in the driving lane.
So you're saying go dangerously fast and very illegally over the speed limit putting not only yours but the other cars around you live in
You don’t have to go dangerously fast you can slow down and move over or speed up to pass and then move over. If you aren’t passing...move.
Danger just to pass some one. Gotcha.
Vaeevictiss
The people doing under the speed limit are the dangerous ones
scnottaken
Come on they're more important than you. They don't care how much danger they put you in. They're better drivers than most... Etc.
iwantapetnameddingbat
Yes. The left lane is a passing lane, not a traveling lane.
Yet everyone speeds at least 10 mph over the speed limit and uses the left lane as a travelling lane.
DING DING DING!!! Winner! No one seems to remember it’s a fucking passing lane
MichaelAndersen88
Depends on the state. Passing lanes are not as common on the West coast.
krankenwagen
idk why you're getting downvoted but this is true in highly congested/populated cities
Even if you're going 11 mph over the speed limit?
Rolling road blocks suck. Without fail, they start fluctuating between 80 and 50 MPH. I can be driving in a straight line for hours 1/2
and still be in the same county. I don't like to have to constantly have to adjust my speed-- yet I can be doing 85 and only pulli1.5/2
1.75/2 into the #1 lane when there is a slower car I need to pass. If slower cars keep right, nobody passes on the right. I prefer practical
Not your job to police another car's speed, that's what the real cops are for.
scoundr3l
If they're going 68mph, you are not following the 2 second rule. Maybe Red would slow down and merge if you stopped tailgating, dick.
Excalibastard
Red would slow down and merge when ever the fuck his entitled ass feels like it
HMCtripleOG
Let's all just admit that we do 80-90 once in a while and cut the bullshit.....
CKOD
Nah, they wouldnt, because its a retard pacer who is just kinda hanging near the other car at a "comfortable" speed
I know :( But for one brief moment I was willing to assume the best in people
I drive in PA and MD. In MD youre getting stuck behind someone slow, 100%. In PA, you drive 15 over and still have people coming up FAST.
In MD you get 2 pacers side by side, but be doing 65, everything is fine. Hit a red light, and they slowly get up to 50 and then thats it.
Ive had left lane pacers match my speed between 50-70 mph, when I just need to get in the left lane for a turn.
DEAFBANDIT
I'll never understand it
KyleBeach
Probably not, but I can attest, more than once i've been in the left, well on my way to pass and merge right, only to have someone ride up
doing 20+ over and get right on my ass...i have then proceeded to pace the fuckers for a couple miles before moving over.
58d8fee2
Nah, the one I hate is the one who's texting and/or tailgating.
They are probably tailgating cause you won't get the fuck out of the way. Texting is bad though.
The only thing tailgating does is show everyone around you that you are fucking retarded. "You know what i want? An accident Herp derp"
Never tailgate. You're always the biggest asshole if you do. Unless someone literally pulled out in front of you, leave space.
BlessYourBeautifulHide
They tailgate you, then pass you, then brake check you. They don't seem to understand that if they pull to the right lane, you can't.
DropDeadFread
People are so oblivious when they drive it's rediculous. Is it really that hard to see a car coming up on you in the rearview mirror?
SkylarCalder

I've seen a car parked in a covered public garage once whose rear window was completely covered in snow. Only the windshield was clean.

I had an ex who would speed up on someone then ride right on their butt. My opinion...you can see you're going faster, so go around them!

Its a shame. Too often i drive with someone and notice how they hare no idea whats going on around them...like they are actually retarded.

Yeah it way too hard especially when you are looking at your cell phone instead of the road
thedarkcanuck

Especially when they have their phone bolted to the side of their head. Almost pasted a woman in a FX35, because she didn't even look.
TechnicallyRight
Wait, what mirrors?
ARNJ
I just straight up honk at them. Wake up you are on the road pay attention, this is too dangerous a task to do it with out thinking.
Or maybe just don't speed so much? That would be lovely.
twohearteddoctor
Flash your high beams its safer and kinder in my opinion
Honking should only be used to signal that you intend to pass the person if they do not move over after flashing your lights at them
And remember, your car lights work in the day time too.
Not in Australia, every where else I have been uses honking to indicate they are going to overtake. Here it’s exclusively an aggressive act.
Starwulf99
I'm not going to go over the speed limit to pass someone just to save you a few seconds. You can wait till I pass doing the speed limit.
pacobedejo
It's usually minutes.
It doesn't take minutes for me to pass a vehicle, and unless you're driving 100mph+, you won't be slowed down significantly.
And hell, if you're driving 100mph+, I'll just be seeing you on the side of the road with a cop ticketing you anyways, lol.
I do however stay in the right lane for the majority of my time on any interstate, so I'm likely not the person annoying people, but still,
If I'm doing 70 in a 70, passing a trucker going 65, and you come up real fast behind me, riding my ass isn't going to get me to move any
damn faster.
Too many people think the left lane is for driving faster than everyone else for as long as you feel like it.
johnfsfrank
At least they're not holding up traffic.
lronMaiden
Left lane = passing line.
DreadCarcass
If im doing 80 and passing people and you want to ride my bumper cause im not letting you pass to do 95 thats a you problem
ICameInLikeAJingleBell
Yeah but in that case it's better to be the bigger man. You're just creating more risk because you "technically right*. Not worth it. Also..
Once you let them pass you now have a rabbit. Let them be an asshole and get a speed ticket.
You are correct. Less dangerous to just move. The person obv has no idea what they are doing. Let them hurt themselves not you.
Why does it matter to you if someone wants to pass you while you're going 80? Just move over. Simple.
Have you driven on american highways? Alot of times if you slow down to move between semis going 68 you get stuck there
You're a dangerous cunt.
In this example im passing people in the passing lane, the dangerous cunt would be the tailgater
Safe passing is a 10 second affair, at most. Longer and it's unsafe. If you won't go >2mph faster than the person you're passing, don't pass

That's not changing the speed though. That's changing the measurement system.
Sometimes it's ok to say it uncprrect. Changing the speed to metric is short for speed measurement system in that case.

Beartornado
Their taxes can pay for lost productivity on delayed traffic when they get pulled over.
1 Well many states have a law that enforces the left lanes as a passing lane only. If you're caught just sitting past even a short distance
tyrfin
Here in MA they sit in the left lane while right lane traffic passes them, while giving everyone dirty looks like "WTFFFFFF"
You can be tickets. Unfortunately, in states like California it's treated as a fast lane where the speed limit doesn't even matter.
arkangelbb
That's effectively what it is because there are so many slower cars that need to be passed, more effective just to stay in the fast lane.
Gotta love our society these days.
Post in general. Just goes to show how many people break the law on a daily basis and don't give a fuck.
Except 99 percent of the people in the fast lane are typically breaking the law. I love all of the downvotes on this

FirstStepsIntoPoland
most places allow you to temporarily go over the limit to pass
Shewy92
My driving handbook sayid to speed up about 5-10 mph to pass and drop back down to your initial speed.
Not if the other car is going under the speed limit
kamakaziK
I seem to remember Idaho only allowing a 4mph over pass limit. And I thought that was stupid and unsafe.
It's fine to exceed the speed limit to pass. You kinda have to...physics.
ashackatak
You don’t “have to” if they are going slower than the speed limit, so no physics doesn’t support your statement.
If you need to exceed the speed limit to pass, chances are shouldn't be passing in the 1st place.
poopMagnet
In MN you’re allowed 10 mph over the limit to pass. So you’re wrong.
Walfas
Do you really think you can safely pass someone who is going 5mph under the limit while remaining under the limit?
Depending on the circumstances yes, and if you can't then you shouldn't be passing.
Tovarish1013
Wrong, it's actually dangerous not to exceed the speed limit while passing.
Bullshit, if you can't safely pass while going the speed limit you shouldn't be passing.
IspellBananasbysingingGwenStefani
to pass in the first place. Which is a bunch of bullocks in the first place because who just "does" the speed limit.
He's not saying that you should pass the speed limit to pass but that if your intentions are to do the speed limit then you shouldnt need
Well if you don't accelerate to pass, you get this rolling roadblock pictured above. Which is dangerous.
That only occurs if you are going the same speed as the car you're paying, in which case why are you passing?
ferristriangle
It's not a roadblock, it's just everyone going the speed limit.

That's fine, as long as you move over after you've passed. After you've let green pass, feel free to continue passing the next car.
valen00
so the moral of the story is if you obey the speed limit you have to weave in and out of traffic to let speeding drivers pass?
ImgurEatSleep
Don't block people doing stupid (illegal) stuff, that's what the police does. Give way if someone's driving faster than you.
valen00
As I said I have to weave in and out because I have cruise set and I'm overtaking people but not fast enough for people breaking the law
ImgurEatSleep
Is that a huge problem for you? As long as people keep their safety distance, you don't have to take off the CC. No space=pass next ones too
flippingbear
Spot on. That's the worst.
AnythingMuchShorter
Or in LA, there are like 8 lanes and even if you go 20 over people randomly switch 3 lanes, pass you on the right, and then switch 3 back.

As a truck driver, I can say that this shit gets old after a 12 hr shift.

Nah man, try being limited to 62 (J.B. Hunt), and having someone limited to 62.5/63/64 (Crete) that ABSOLUTELY NEEDS TO PASS YOU.

i stay 65mph all 99% of the way. too stressful passing people, constant speed change, watching blindside and braking incessantly.
7thor8thcaw
That's cool as long as you're in the right lane you're good.
DaDisser
People who break a lot on the high way (outside of heavy traffic) are usually inexperienced drivers. Just give more space and let off gas.

And dealing with the majority of the people breaking road laws is annoying. People don't understand why there are so many car accidents...

If there's a car going slower than the speed limit and you want to match the limit, you're allowed to go over the limit to pass him.

This is called Utah Formation, but you need at least 4 cars all doing the same speed in 4 lanes on I-15.

I downshift before any indication of passing, then It's WOT until I'm fully passed. If my engine is up past 4.5k, I can hit full output 1/2

nearly instantly. I rarely if ever fail to execute a pass this way.
altrdgenetics
its cause they arent paying attention and going easy on the gas, then when they see you in the side window they look down and realize.

Too many people forget the left is passing. Not travelling faster than everyone else for your entire trip. This tends to cause congestion.

Yes. If you aren’t passing move over. Speed up do 90 and get out of the way or slow down and drop behind the other car in the driving lane.
TUGboatJOB
So you're saying go dangerously fast and very illegally over the speed limit putting not only yours but the other cars around you live in
dronetalker
You don’t have to go dangerously fast you can slow down and move over or speed up to pass and then move over. If you aren’t passing...move.

1.75/2 into the #1 lane when there is a slower car I need to pass. If slower cars keep right, nobody passes on the right. I prefer practical
iwantapetnameddingbat
Not your job to police another car's speed, that's what the real cops are for.

If they're going 68mph, you are not following the 2 second rule. Maybe Red would slow down and merge if you stopped tailgating, dick.

I drive in PA and MD. In MD youre getting stuck behind someone slow, 100%. In PA, you drive 15 over and still have people coming up FAST.
CKOD
In MD you get 2 pacers side by side, but be doing 65, everything is fine. Hit a red light, and they slowly get up to 50 and then thats it.

They are probably tailgating cause you won't get the fuck out of the way. Texting is bad though.

The only thing tailgating does is show everyone around you that you are fucking retarded. "You know what i want? An accident Herp derp"
scnottaken
Never tailgate. You're always the biggest asshole if you do. Unless someone literally pulled out in front of you, leave space.
BlessYourBeautifulHide
They tailgate you, then pass you, then brake check you. They don't seem to understand that if they pull to the right lane, you can't.

I just straight up honk at them. Wake up you are on the road pay attention, this is too dangerous a task to do it with out thinking.
antman2988
Or maybe just don't speed so much? That would be lovely.
twohearteddoctor
Flash your high beams its safer and kinder in my opinion
evergreenyankee
Honking should only be used to signal that you intend to pass the person if they do not move over after flashing your lights at them
evergreenyankee
And remember, your car lights work in the day time too.
ARNJ
Not in Australia, every where else I have been uses honking to indicate they are going to overtake. Here it’s exclusively an aggressive act.
Starwulf99
I'm not going to go over the speed limit to pass someone just to save you a few seconds. You can wait till I pass doing the speed limit.
pacobedejo
It's usually minutes.
Starwulf99
It doesn't take minutes for me to pass a vehicle, and unless you're driving 100mph+, you won't be slowed down significantly.
Starwulf99
And hell, if you're driving 100mph+, I'll just be seeing you on the side of the road with a cop ticketing you anyways, lol.
Starwulf99
I do however stay in the right lane for the majority of my time on any interstate, so I'm likely not the person annoying people, but still,
Starwulf99
If I'm doing 70 in a 70, passing a trucker going 65, and you come up real fast behind me, riding my ass isn't going to get me to move any
Starwulf99
damn faster.

If im doing 80 and passing people and you want to ride my bumper cause im not letting you pass to do 95 thats a you problem
ICameInLikeAJingleBell
Yeah but in that case it's better to be the bigger man. You're just creating more risk because you "technically right*. Not worth it. Also..
ICameInLikeAJingleBell
Once you let them pass you now have a rabbit. Let them be an asshole and get a speed ticket.
DaDisser
You are correct. Less dangerous to just move. The person obv has no idea what they are doing. Let them hurt themselves not you.
DropDeadFread
Why does it matter to you if someone wants to pass you while you're going 80? Just move over. Simple.
DreadCarcass
Have you driven on american highways? Alot of times if you slow down to move between semis going 68 you get stuck there
pacobedejo
You're a dangerous cunt.
DreadCarcass
In this example im passing people in the passing lane, the dangerous cunt would be the tailgater

Safe passing is a 10 second affair, at most. Longer and it's unsafe. If you won't go >2mph faster than the person you're passing, don't pass

You can be tickets. Unfortunately, in states like California it's treated as a fast lane where the speed limit doesn't even matter.

That's effectively what it is because there are so many slower cars that need to be passed, more effective just to stay in the fast lane.

cookiesnatcha
It's fine to exceed the speed limit to pass. You kinda have to...physics.
ashackatak
You don’t “have to” if they are going slower than the speed limit, so no physics doesn’t support your statement.
MDAlchemist
If you need to exceed the speed limit to pass, chances are shouldn't be passing in the 1st place.
poopMagnet
In MN you’re allowed 10 mph over the limit to pass. So you’re wrong.
Walfas
Do you really think you can safely pass someone who is going 5mph under the limit while remaining under the limit?
MDAlchemist
Depending on the circumstances yes, and if you can't then you shouldn't be passing.
Tovarish1013
Wrong, it's actually dangerous not to exceed the speed limit while passing.
MDAlchemist
Bullshit, if you can't safely pass while going the speed limit you shouldn't be passing.

to pass in the first place. Which is a bunch of bullocks in the first place because who just "does" the speed limit.
IspellBananasbysingingGwenStefani
He's not saying that you should pass the speed limit to pass but that if your intentions are to do the speed limit then you shouldnt need
cookiesnatcha
Well if you don't accelerate to pass, you get this rolling roadblock pictured above. Which is dangerous.
MDAlchemist
That only occurs if you are going the same speed as the car you're paying, in which case why are you passing?
ferristriangle
It's not a roadblock, it's just everyone going the speed limit.
