    …if there’s room to move right, you shouldn’t’ve been in the left lane no matter what speed you were driving…

    KEEP RIGHT EXCEPT TO PASS

      nah, it’s stupid to move over for literally two seconds only to move back to the left lane

      it happens frequently enough to me that I’m passing two cars at a differential of maybe 10km/h and somebody comes up behind me going faster. I’ll drop my speed and sidle into the right lane to let them pass and move right back over

      I get what you’re saying. I agree. but there are situations where you can be actively passing but also have some space to let someone by. it’s not required because you’re passing, but it might be nice if it’s a long line of cars

      It’s a bit ridiculous imo to start constantly bopping in and out to every available crack. And likely more dangerous too since you’re moving between the lanes.

      If there’s plenty of room and you wouldn’t be passing the next car anytime soon, yes of course. If you’d be passing the next car soon anyway and there’s nobody going faster behind you (wanting to pass you), doesn’t seem necessary. It doesn’t really make sense from a safety or traffic fluency aspects to me.

      Reminds me of a friend who moves over to the right most lane on a three lane road since that’s where you technically need to be, even though we both know it will soon become a turning lane, then a joining lane for people coming to the highway and then the lane is going to end. Boggles the mind
