[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in the UK and france where it's very much a given that the far right (or left in the case of the uk) lane is for passing only. If someone sits in that lane then it's entirely acceptable to honk at or flash them to move over. I've noticed that in the US it's not culturally acceptable to do this, so cars 'sit' in the fast lane going too slowly, feeling no social pressure via things like: the car in the lane to their right going at the same speed or faster, or a car behind them being close. As a result, cars pass them on the right which is SO dangerous and results in crashes, deaths. would it not be better to just honk/ flash than pass dangerously?[/quote] Honking is unacceptable and dangerous in that situation. A brief flashing of lights is a normal and accepted way to communicate to the driver that they are going slower and should move right. [/quote]
