I mean if you aren't moving faster than the other cars then you're clearly not passing them. So it still fits it's just a less nice way of saying that.
It's not less nice, it's less accurate.
How? If you're not moving faster then you're not passing. So if you're in what's called the "passing lane" and you're not moving faster than a car to your right then you're not passing. It fits either way. Even if you call it the fast lane it's still the same concept. "If you're not moving faster get out of the fast lane" is just as accurate as "If you're not passing get out of the passing lane"
Shouldn't you call it the "faster lane" then?
I was more disputing the "less nice" thing, I don't see how calling it the fast lane is "meaner" than calling it the passing lane. But objectively it is less accurate to the purpose of the lane. I do definitely really care about this though, it's a globally critical distinction lol
