    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.

          No worries.
