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.
Yes, passing lane – not fast lane.
If someone starts aggressively flashing their lights behind me I like to assume they are trying to alert me that I’m driving too fast and should slow down immediately lol
I assume they’re having an emergency. Or they’re a raging asshole. In either case it’s not a great idea to play games with them. If you ever fuck around and find out I hope you’ll come tell us about it so I can gloat.
I sometimes wonder who died and made them all highway patrol. I just want to get home safe, can people just not fucking ego trip behind the wheel of the 2 ton deathmobile?
Frankly it’s harder than you think for many, the only thing that calms me down and makes me drive absolutely great is weed but I hesitate to drive mildly high too often to not get caught randomly by some pig.
Also it seems like the more time I am driving the more bmw drivers and bmw drivers without bmw piss me off.
makes me drive absolutely great is weed
Hi, I’m an enthusiast.
Fuck you for smoking and driving.
You cannot justify it to me no matter how many times you rephrase “it helps me chill Bro”
What do you mean you are an enthusiast though. Are you my fan? Please tell me you are my fan it would be so cool
Holy shit please do not smoke and drive.
Can’t give any promises 😈
Left is for passing, if you’re just driving then you’re in the right lane until you come up on someone to pass
If they’re blocking you then why don’t you just pass them on the right?
illegal
Speeding is “illegal” too, so that’s not really much of an argument.
Left lane is for overtaking. End of story
If you finished overtaking you go back to middle or right depending on the circumstances.
Don’t be a middle lane driver, always go to the most right lane possible.
The middle lane is also just for overtaking. The left lane is to overtake someone that is overtaking someone.
No. Just no. The middle lane is the lane to use for your trip. The right lane is for allowing people on and off. If everyone is in the right lane, entering and exiting is painful or dangerous.
The law literally says you should always use the rightmost lane. At least that’s the case in Europe.
If everyone is in the right lane, entering and exiting is painful or dangerous.
Do you even have a drivers license? Entering and exiting is what entrance and exit lanes are for. There is nothing painful or dangerous about it.
You, sir, have clearly never driven a car in your life if you think there is nothing painful or dangerous about entrance and exits. The idea is simple, the execution by about 80% of existing drivers is just dreadful. Both the ones using them and the people who refuse to acknowledge that someone is using them.
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.
140
You mean km/hr, right?
…
Km/hr, right?
Meters per second
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.
I always do unless you have those crazy fucking headlights…then not a chance
You won’t see their headlights anymore if you let them pass
We don’t negotiate with terrorists!
I rarely see law enforcement go after the people driving like aggressive idiots. Always the poor Joe late for work going 5 mph over…
Drive a newer looking pickup truck. They won’t mess with you because you’re obviously “good people” if you can afford something like that. Avoid driving a clapped out Nissan, because you’re a bad person if that’s what you’re driving. You have to think like an idiot with a highschool education.
I drive like a German: I only go on the left lane of a highway if I am passing someone.
Remember not to indicate if you’re over the age of 65, on a tractor, or driving a beamer
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. 🤣🖕🏽
