I know this will mess up a lot of people, but I'm leaving it here anyways...

You think you're right, but you'd be WRONG.

I have an easy flow chart for drivers:

Are you driving under the speed limit? Yes - Move to the right, and preferably off a cliff
Are you driving the speed limit, but someone is on your tail? Yes - Move right
Are you driving faster than the right lane, but someone is on your tail? Yes - Move right
Are you driving at the max speed (person in front of you), go ahead and stay in the lane.

FFS people are fucking retarded. I hate passing on the right but I will fucking do it if some stupid environmentalist in their prius feels entitled to drive in the left lane just because.

This should be stickied.

Right... because we are the ones on the road in front of you each day?
No, but the "we" that are in the left lane on a 2-lane interstate highway that don't have the common decency to move over when someone come up behind them, need to move over.

I won't move over if I'm passing somebody. You can slow down and wait for me to pass at my speed.

The left lane is the passing lane. You should always be in the right lane unless in the act of passing.

Agreed... the other night I was coming home from work about 12:30 am, four lane highway, and there are only 2 cars in front of me. One car in the left, one in the right, and they are driving side by side at the same speed. I get behind the lady on the left, and hope that she pulls ahead so she can move over to the right so I can pass. Instead she continues to box me in for a mile or so. I start tailgating her closely and the lady brake checks me. Finally she speeds up enough and I've had enough so I pass her on the right. She then jams her wheel to the right like she's going to swerve into my car but doesn't do it of course.

I'll be the first to admit it was a dickish move to follow her so closely but usually people have the decency to let you pass on the left like you are supposed to. So dumb, yet so aggravating.

I left that out of the flowchart because it would have broke the format if I added a secondary "if" clause :p

If you are in the middle of passing someone, then by all means complete the pass, that is fine. I don't get angry at those people.

If they end up moving to the left and then go the same speed or just barrrrellly faster than the right lane, while the left is moving substantially faster...that pisses me off.

Why wouldn't you have just simply moved to the right and not been agressive?

Because there was another car right next to her. I was boxed in. It was late and I wanted to get home so I was just being pushy about passing this person.

Seriously it's like wtf? It blows my mind every day seeing these idiots drive on LA freeways.

The left lane is the passing lane. You should always be in the right lane unless in the act of passing.

It's people that do this to the extreme that drive me nuts. If the SL is 70, they drive 71 in the fast lane while passing a group of 5-6 cars that are widely spaced (enough so they can get right to allow faster traffic to pass), yet they stay in the left lane the entire time. And then you have a-holes that drive 68.00000001 while passing the guy doing 68 (in a 70 mind you), and they wonder why people ride their ass.

Drive the speed limit... that's fine. But when you're passing... PASS! It shouldn't take 30+ seconds to pass someone.

Agreed; I call it *the slow pass.* It's extremely annoying. If you are in enough of a rush to pass someone, then just PASS ALREADY!

Well if you had four fucking lanes, one car in right and one in left then pass them in the middle you asshole!
