Is the far left lane (far right for UK goons) on the highway someplace where you can stay all the time as long as you're moving faster than other cars, or should you only pull out into the left lane when you are passing another vehicle, then pull back into the center lane when you've completed your maneuver?

I'm not asking what the road manual says I mean in terms of accepted social etiquette.

It's the lane you're in if you are doing [speed limit] + 5. If you're going 80 in a 70, gently caress you I'm not moving over, you can stop flashing your lights like a little bitch.

I once heard that life in the fast lane will surely make you lose your mind. Can anyone confirm/deny?

Same :hf:

Speedlimit Crew represent! People behind me go insane when I obey the weird little 40mph zone that covers a couple miles around a bridge on the expressway downtown, but gently caress them! I see cops waiting in a little speed trap nook like 1 out of 3 times I go that way. It's not worth getting a ticket on my way to visit my girlfriend's parents :colbert:

If you are not going 10 mph over the speed limit at all times (except in school zones) then you are the one who is wrong.

Whatever you do, don't exceed the speed limit. So if I am doing the speed limit in the passing lane, it is because I am attempting to pass traffic driving at less than tthat speed. If there isnt any, oh well I guess your gonna have to glare at me as you pass on the right.

The "speed limit" is not a strict limit the law allows for a 10mph discretionary window on either side.

I love when someone passes me on the right because there mad that i wasnt speeding only to find out that the reason i was going slow was that i could see traffic stopping ahead, so they have to smash their brakes. some times i get into the right lane because it breaks up faster after the congestion clears so i can pass that car and smile at them. i might even be able to get back into the left lane if they are really bumper to bumper (because they are idiots :D)

the speed limit doesn't really exist it's just a suggestion. If you get pulled over just educate the dumb cop.

It's the fast lane when there's traffic. You shouldn't stay in the left lane if there's no one around or if it's gonna be a while til you pass the next car.

If there's more than two lanes then it is a free for all. Fastest car makes the rules.

Conversely, passing on the right (while NOT exceeding the speed limit) is fun as hell.

Especially when you're passing an old dude who flips his poo poo because you have the temerity to blow pass while he's still going 30 in a 45 in the left lane.

there are only two kinds of bad drivers:

bad drivers, and the people who constantly complain about bad drivers
