Not quite sure how your comment is relevant. I’m looking forward to being home, but RVs drive exceptionally slower for safety and aerodynamic reasons. I’ll have to pass the ones driving past me while sitting at a restaurant, some for the second time.
Can’t speak for OP but where I live it’s downright dangerous and often impossible. Single lane in each direction, no overtaking lanes to speak of.
I find the arrogance of RV drivers with 40 cars behind them refusing to pull over and let everyone pass to be one of the most illustrative aspects of the boomer mentality. I want them to die so bad.
Hey there, sounds like you’ve never driven a car before. No shame! I’m more than happy to clear up any confusion.
Typically, roads with a single lane in each direction are not elevated off the ground. Meaning there is a location known as the “side of the road” where people are able to pull off if they have car trouble or are impeding a huge line of traffic. Unfortunately, this “side of the road” i mentioned previously is typically dirt, meaning that it’s very dangerous to pass from. In many regions where common courtesy exists, pulling over to the side of the road (refer to previous sentences if still unsure) is very much appreciated.
Hopefully this helps! If you’re still feeling a little slack jawed about the whole thing, feel free to let me know :)

Or it’s a ditch you can get a car in to but not out of without employing a tow truck. This is the most common situation in single lane roads that don’t have any alternative water management features. But you’d know that if you ever touched grass in your life.
There are plenty of stopping bays and rest areas, but no overtaking lanes. Rural Aus roads are SO GOOD, but it’s where the caravans congregate every single day.
maybe it’s a highway with just a single lane in either direction. maybe passing lanes are few and far between or non-existent. maybe it’s dark and hard to find safe opportunities to pass. maybe there’s a train of 5 rvs you’d have to pass all at once because there’s no space to get back over between them. maybe the rv drivers don’t care to use pull outs and let others past.
np! yeah, in my little corner of the US there are no big freeways near me, mostly just small highways with one lane in each direction, and yeah the frustration can be real when you’re stuck behind a slow rv!

Why is it a problem that you have to pass a slow-moving vehicle?
EDIT: this was a weird comment to get downvoted for. Not everyone drives, y’all - it was a genuine question, not one loaded with implication.

Thank you for answering the question rather than downvoting!

Also go fuck yourself. Blocked.

The world’s a big place

All of these things are exactly what happens in my area. I think the nearest 4 lane highway is about 4 hours away.
Ah, I was imagining a big American freeway like you see on TV. Thanks, that makes sense!

At least someone got my point, thank you.
Probably should just unsubscribe from memes while you’re ahead.
gatekeeping memes, fantastic
Do you sincerely think that’s what I’m saying?
Eh - I did, but other commenters pointed out that it’s not always possible to pass them depending on road conditions, so I’m with them.
How about you use one of the million turn outs and let faster traffic by?
