some smarts need to be applied to that!! If youre out in BFE, then like the signs say, Slower traffic keep right. or keep right except to pass!! but you’ll always have that moron who does exactly the speed limit in the left lane and then even speeds up when someone attempts to pass them on the right. and then slows back down when no one can pass on the right. those morons deserve all 4 tires shot out...
I’ll always remember some 20 years ago I’m I 35 north heading toward Dallas there was this little old lady in the left lane doing about 55. Naturally there were trucks and lots of slow traffic in the right lane and we were bottlenecked behind her for 30 or 40 minutes.
Just about the time someone could pass her in the right lane, they would get stuck behind an 18 wheeler who is doing maybe 58 mph. This went on and on and on.
Finally I was able to pass her and as I did I moved in front of her and slowed down to about 40 mph. This allowed some 40 or 50 cars. I am not kidding, to pass us on the right. I know plenty of people perhaps thought I was a big jerk. Perhaps I was the one responsible for holding up dozens of cars. And perhaps I should have moved on up to 75 or 80 mph and forgotten it. But I felt like I needed to clear the congestion. The best way I could.
