Sometimes you pass a car

And there is another one coming up. It get's questionable whether to move over or stay in the left lane.

It's a courteous way of asking the person to get the heck out of the way.

Depends on how close they get. Flashing lights a little ways back is fine, but

The slow person is the discourteous person. The slow jerk in the left lane

If you are slowing the car behind you down, get over.

why can't they just change lanes? Assuming you're going the speed limit.

Because the left lane is the passing lane

Or the guys that think they need to moderate the passing lane

I really wonder if some self righteous individuals do this

Harrison0Yfan

The recent speed limit change in Utah to 70 on I15 was actually about speeding

IIRC, most states have laws against "impeding traffic". If you are going 80 in

If you are passing on the left, speed up to the flow of traffic, which is

SOP in Germany on the autobahn. A lot of military guys pick up the practice
