Thank you for being mindful of the passing lane and staying behind another slow moving vehicle if you are going to travel slower than the flow of traffic.
You are most welcome.
There is only one bone I have to pick with people who make "slower traffic keep right", "the left lane is for passing", and "the flow of traffic" type of comments. That is in the case of a commercial vehicle travelling 65mph passing another travelling 63mph. This is a perfectly valid use of the passing lanes on a highway, unless signs or local rules indicate otherwise (e.g. no trucks this lane). In this case, 65mph is the flow of traffic in that area and everyone behind should be aware that they are travelling faster than the flow of traffic until the pass has completed.
...nothing at all wrong with overtaking at a 1 MPH differential as long as you keep right afterward...
Nah theres a big problem with that.
Like the other guy said big rigs get a pass at slow passing as they literally can't speed up fast enough anyways.
Someone in a grocery getter? Fuck them. Thats a dangerously slow differential for the passer,passee, and everyone behind them.
They can either speed the fuck up or go back behind the dude that isn't fast enough for them.
