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.
Yeah, it's unsafe, but how is it making things worse? It seems to be making the best of a bad situation, not escalating anything.
Because a good chunk of time your just making it harder for the person who is holding everyone up to move over. I’ve seen lots of people pull out from behind me in the fast lane and go past me and the car in front of me, and then the car in front will move over. Sometimes people do want to get out of the way but people are to impatient to let them.
I'll give them about 30 seconds. Which is 25 seconds longer than it takes to get in the slow lane.
