Yes, if you are in the wrong (lingering in the left lane), just fix the problem, don’t make it worse.

Move over before you get someone killed.

Why do you think tailgating only happens in the left lane? Is this some suburban derangement where literally every time you leave your house you have to go on a multi-lane highway?

Deflection.

Move over if you are driving in the left lane.

This isn’t that deep.

Agree.

The left lane is a passing lane, not a cruising lane. People are supposed to treat it like they would if they were on a single lane road. Only get over to pass, and then move back into right lane. It also means accelerating enough to pass the car on the right - so don't take 15 miles to pass the car on the right.

This is also a deflection. Two wrongs don't make a right. Don't tailgate. If you're really passionate about policing the left lane, become a cop.

Just follow the rules of the road. No one said tailgating is right. But, neither is cruising in the left lane. Don't be that a$$hole that thinks they are "entitled" to cruising in the wrong lane.

Yes, follow the rules of the road. Don’t be that @sshole that tailgates.

One comes before the other, you know.

I don’t misuse the left lane but when I see someone who is doing that, I don’t really care because I am never in a mad rush to pass every car I can. I also don’t tailgate but when I see someone tailgating another car, I definitely care. I think to myself, “that angry impatient a$$hole is making the road more dangerous for everyone.” The tailgater is the much bigger assh0le. You can only control your own actions.

The person camping in the left lane is the a$$hole for not following the rules.

next time you are self righteously tailgating someone, i hope you hear a voice in your head saying “a lot of people think i’m the assho1e”

and just as many think you are.

they are both assh0les. the tailgater is worse though

Nope. Not different at all. Both can be ticketed.

In my state, the left lane violation gets 2 point and tailgating gets 5 points.

This isn’t entirely true. Some DMV highways have left exits so drivers do need to get in that left lane in anticipation of their exit.

DP.

Ok, then you get in the lane MAX 1 mile before your exist. And maintain the speed of traffic.

If only the a-holes of the world followed the rules of the road (and law in some states) and put themselves in the correct lane.

I think a lot of people know it's the law on the highway. But most drivers don't know that "slower traffic keep right" pertains to ALL multi lane roads. That means, including roads with stop lights.

Correct. Which means you get over in a reasonable distance before the exit. It doesn't mean driving for 10 miles in the left lane.

And it means the drivers driving fast in the left lane should expect to have to deal with slower vehicles in the few miles before that exit, yes? A little consideration from/for everyone.

You don't need to be the left lane "for a few miles" before a left exit.

Exceeding the max speed limit is also against the law. What do you guys do about that? Oh right, nothing. You guys don’t care about the traffic laws, you just think everyone needs to get out of your way.
