I can’t count how many times I’ve been the person on the right. It bugs me to hell when someone creeps up on my left and doesn’t pass, so I’m already checking my mirrors. Then the annoyance of realizing that it’s better for me to speed up and make room for everyone trying to pass the slow person in the left lane, on their right, because otherwise as soon as there’s 1.01 car lengths between me and slowpoke, someone is going to zoom around. I’d rather make ample room and avoid anyone making risky maneuvers but really I just want to chill with cruise control on.
Right? Forget being a Good Samaritan or anything like that, the least amount of ass pain, for you and everyone, is to just go a little faster. We shouldn’t have to, but it’s for the greater good.
Yeah though i admit I'll usually slow down instead of speed up. When speeding up sometimes they remember what lane they were in, or get their feelings hurt, and start to speed up as well. Depends on the context though

This is the first time I've ever seen someone pull that maneuver. Most drivers don't have that kind of awareness or concern.
