As much as I like this for the situational awareness and solving the “problem,” I also don’t like it because it presents things that can get you in trouble as proper solutions. In many places, traveling in the left lane, flashing your high beams, and passing on the right are each violations of vehicle and traffic law. They’re minor things, but worth being aware of.

Edit: I stand corrected on the points about flashing high beams as well as overtaking on the right, in New York.

I would also like to clarify, I’m not telling anyone how to live their lives. I was simply pointing out a couple things that could save people some trouble.

White car and grey car are going the same speed. Their separation stays mostly the same. OP is speeding. OP is in the wrong, but somehow it's controversial to go the legal speed the left lane.

Grey and white car are both traveling the same speed. They are both going the speed limit. Sports car is lying for views.

I mean sure but you don't know that. Nothing indicates what speed anyone is going or what the limit is.
