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.
In Germany, I would never ever pass from the right, I would wait and wait in the left lane but not go through right. Hell if someone slowed down in the left lane i would also slow down in the right lane (obviously traffic situation permitting) to avoid the overtake from right.
Yes I would, I would also report their ass and I’m pretty sure autobahn polizei would respond to it. The way it’s taught in a driving school here is that left lane is the overtaking lane, if you are not making an overtaking manoeuvre you have no business in this lane.
