I'll always cruise in the left so long as there is no one behind me. The moment I see lights coming up, I just move so they can pass, then go back if there's no one else.

If you're paying the smallest bit of attention, it's really, really easy. I guess these days, that's the problem right there.

Honestly man. Fuck pride or "but the rules" or any of that noise. Left is for passing, only cruising when rearview is wide open. Shift over to let the speed demons through. Not that hard.

Still can't do anything about the kids driving like GTA7 but as long as you're steady and predictable you're doing all you can.

Yeah, blocking them is just going to make their brains explode, which is fun, BUT they're behind the wheel of a 2 ton death machine. They're just going to do some dumb shit to get around, so...I'd rather just stay out of their way.

Classic George Carlin bit. Everybody going faster than you is a maniac and everybody going slower than you is an idiot.

Oh, I'm certainly a maniac to some people. But the trick is just staying out of the way of those who are maniacs relative to yourself.
