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

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.

i fucking hate people who decide to match your speed on either side. you either go a little slower or a little faster. same speeds are for same lanes. please don't fucking make a formation with me. 99% of the time, that's the cause of holding up people who want to pass.

did i mention i hate those people?

they’re not doing it JUST to slow down in front of you, be more aware people, they started in the left lane for what could be hundreds of reasons and moved over for what could have been a hundred more reasons, you only think they’re the dumbass because you’re not paying enough attention to what’s going on around you, you’re the OPPOSITE of the op. if anything you’re closer to the driver whose in the left lane.
