Thank you! The smug look a driver has, when the 6th car they slowed down, has passed them.... Beer me strength.

Hmm, if there are many tractor trailers on the road does that change things? Because they have to go slow to be safe.

I think op is talking about the passing lane, which trucks don't hog

Stay on the slow lane. Use the fastest lane to overtake. Or like others mention, the "passing lane" should be used to pass and then get back on the slower lane. Not to park your slow car on it.

So go less than the speed limit?

No such thing as a "fast lane" it's called passing lane.

So then use it for passing. Not for staying and remaining. After you pass, you shouldn't need to stay on it, so someone faster than you can use it

And if someone is driving the speed limit while passing a line of trucks? They have just as much right to that lane as everyone else. Your desire to go fast does not give you the right of way.

Completely agree. But as people mentioned, its called the passing lane. So after you finish passing, get back on the slower lane. The example I provided was there were no other vehicles near them, but these rockstars will just be the only one on the fast lane.. The only way to overtake them, is to use the slower lane.

This is literally the law in most countries. It's not an unpopular opinion.

Are you saying you have never seen this in your country? In any of your car drives?

by Anonymous 1 month ago

I've definitely seen it, but the idea that it's wrong and should be avoided is an extremely popular opinion.

by Anonymous 1 month ago

Yes, I got that from some of the replies here. Just that I saw so many cars, I felt it was unpopular.

You aren't supposed to exceed the speed limit even to pass someone, so no problem.

This isn't an unpopular opinion. You're just uninformed.

Yes. Absolutely. I stated that, too. Just dont hog the passing lane.

Oh good then. I am glad. My two hour car ride had over a dozen of these "geniuses", with their smug look.

So you can imagine my frustration... Just using this forum to vent.

This exact point comes up virtually any time driving is discussed. We get it already.

I agree. It's the passing lane. It's not anyone's job to stay there and play police unless they actually are police.
