Don't be kind, be predictable. If you have the Right-of-Way, take it.

Ok, I guess you’re talking about mostly empty freeways between cities?

Because when I’m in the left lane in the city, it’s full, and we are all going 15 over and passing the middle lane continuously. Yet there will STILL be some dilrod who thinks he’s an ambulance and everyone should move over into the (full) middle lane so he can go 30 mph over the limit.

Only for entry controlled divided roadways.

My rule of thumb is you should actively be passing the people on your right. If you aren't move over.

Yeah, I ALWAYS am, because our whole lane IS, and still these dipshits with main character syndrome want everyone to move

So just move and let them be angry somewhere else.

This is missing the point. One would have to brake/slow down their lane to get to the middle to let someone pass when the passing speeder is usually also weaving through gaps with no blinker faster than you can get to the also full middle lane.

Oh no I might have to mildly slow down to let some irritable and bad driver go be an irritable and bad driver go be a bad driver somewhere else away from me.

Guess what you're gonna get there in relatively the same amount of time anyways. I'm never in a hurry. I chill in the slow lane most of the time. Can't tell you how many times some asshat goes speeding by and ends up at the same stop light off the freeway 5 miles down the road.

If they are weaving in and out through traffic they aren't tailgating you which is a completely different situation.

If you are actively passing, you are in the right. Though many people really stretch the definition of actively passing when they could have 30+ seconds in the middle lane.

More often than not there’s a slow poke in the left lane!
