Quit speeding. Changing lanes all willy nilly hurts traffic, not helps it. Statistically, you go the fastest when choosing a lane and staying there. The three seconds you save getting to your destination isn’t worth making all the traffic behind you worse. And while you’re at it, leave at least one car length in front of you for every 10mph you’re going. You shouldn’t have to rely on your brakes to slow down on the highway.
If everyone kept right when not passing like we’re supposed to there would be no “changing lanes willy nilly”. If you get passed on the right neither you or someone in front of you is fucking up.
There are diminishing returns with increased speed, not going to deny that or any of the safety concerns, however extremely passive drivers and lane warriors are a major nuissance and contribute greatly to traffic. No one knows how to zipper merge properly and worse, they take it as a personal afront that you dared to cut ahead of them in traffic.
It boils down to self centeredness and discourtesy.
