[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is not always “easy” to move to the right when passing a cluster of vehicles jammed nearly bumper to bumper in that lane. Even in the unlikely event that one of them yields moving over will trap me in their no-following-distance zone. Once I’m above the limit in the next lane over I don’t feel a huge obligation to endanger myself or others just so somebody can go even further above the limit. I move when I safely can but people who tailgate and flash their lights like they’re on some fantasy Autobahn need to bide their time. [/quote]

[b]You can’t both be traveling fast and be up against bumper to bumper traffic. [/b]If you’re going at any speed you can move over, come on. It’s just selfish not to do it bc it’s annoying or hard. [/quote]

The bolded is completely untrue in this area. In fact the biggest thing I noticed about traffic when I moved here is that people travel so closely together at highway speeds. It could easily take a mile before I can move rightward into the densely packed lane I've been passing - especially if I can't slow down because you're riding my tail.

People who act like it's a personal attack to have to slow down (to only 10 over the speed limit!) ever, at all - you are the problem. [/quote]
