      Don’t be in the left lane if you’re not passing anyone. If you’re driving as you should be, nobody should have the chance to tailgate you in the left lane.

        If the speed limit is 100 and right lane is doing 100, and I’m in the left lane doing 110, and you want to do 130, you can sit down and fuck right off.

          Wrong. Don’t be in the left lane if you’re not passing anyone. If you’re driving as you should be, nobody should have the chance to tailgate you in the left lane. Just because you’re speeding doesn’t mean you are also entitled to sit in the left lane.

            You can be going the same speed as the person in front of you and faster then the people in the right lane passing everyone, and still have people tailgate you in the left lane.

            I’m guessing math is hard for you, but 110 is greater than 100, but less than 130. Just because some chad playing loud music in a 20 year old Civic wants to do 130, I’m not slowing down and merging into 100 traffic so they can do 130.

              So you’re breaking two traffic rules at once then. You get out of the left lane when you’re done passing. It’s not complicated.

        What do you mean? How would nobody have the chance to tailgate me? I assume this would only be the case if I am the fastest driver there is, so >>200 km/h.

        If I was on the left lane, this person would absolutely have overtaken on the right side without any hesitation.

          How would they have overtaken you on the right if you were passing someone…? There wouldn’t be room on the right to do so.

          If you strictly use the left lane to pass people, then go back to the right lane afterwards, there will be no time for anyone to tailgate you.

            People over take me on the right all the time because I wait for a gap big enough to merge back into the right lane safely and impatient pricks put the petal to the metal and squeeze through a gap barely wide enough for their vehicle, making it so I can’t even merge to the right lane until they pass, whereas if they waited literally 3 seconds they would have been fine instead of risking multiple people’s lives doing a dangerous maneuver.

            I already said that there was no other car. One lane. If I were an idiot that drives on the left lane without a reason, then this driver would not have hesitated for a moment to overtake on my right.

            People tailgate for any number of reasons on a road with any number of vehicles or lanes. I don’t know where and how you are driving that you expect that to never happen as per your example. The driver could simply be much faster to begin with, so by the time I have nearly completed taking over, he is already behind me and simply has to break. Without anyone necessarily being in the wrong.

              Sorry, you said that in another comment chain and I thought I was still talking to criticon or someone else.
