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

Sometimes you pass a car

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

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

kotacoug

I really wonder if some self righteous individuals do this

Harrison0Yfan

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
