On 3+ lane highways, I find I can match the speed of a car in front of me with something like a 100yd/m gap. Faster traffic passes on the left. Eventually, I’m left with a fellow big spacer behind me. There will be a few of us big spacers all big spacin’ together, and it’s very easy for the Racin’ Randys to pass. In heavier traffic, I might see them anxiously tailgating in the left lane a bit ahead. Impatient drivers will break through somewhere behind us big spacers and zoom up to join the tailgating crew.
Rarely have to use my brakes, and can even make rare lane changes when HIGHLY optimal. Remember taking the same exit as a guy once who I saw change lanes a million times super aggressively half an hour earlier. I changed lanes maybe thrice. Wonder how our blood pressures differed that day - I know our arrival times didn’t.
I’m in California and on long trips the strategy can still be effective! Love me a safety bubble. When enough big spacers are around, rapid lane switchers still have enough room to easily get up to tailgate ahead like they so desperately need to.
If you’re not tailgating, you’re never going to make it to your destination!!!11

This works when people respect the “slower cars move right” convention. In California, it’s a free for all because slow people camp in the left lanes.
