Flash to pass?

[nothumb]

The other option which is less obtrusive to some is to blink your lights on and off a few times. Usually if there's room I just pass onthe right immediately.

I am going to share something unintersting and useless. I HATE being passed on the right. Especially when I am driving in the left lane 8-10 mph over the speed limit and regularly passing people. If people try and pass me on the right I usually speed up. I'm a dick.

BTW, these are people who pass on the right immediately. If someone starts tailgaiting or flashes their lights I move over right away.

Yup.

If the right lane is clear, there's no reason not to pass on the right, especially since tailgating/flashing people rarely gets you anywhere anyway, as the 90% of oblivious cell phone addicts aren't gonna react to that.

If you are paying attention (and obviously you aren't), you will have noticed there is someone coming up behind you and you will change to the right lane thereby allowing those cars travelling faster than you to pass using the left lane.

PAY ATTENTION when you are driving!

You have a rearview mirror... USE IT!!!!!

THIS IS STUPID! Seriously, are you people morons?

Left = pass side
Right = suicide

If you are holding up traffic... GET OUT OF THE WAY!

If you've got a wide open road, just pass on the right. Get in the right lane long before you reach them, as this will be safer. Otherwise they might see you coming up fast on the left and change into the right lane just as you do.

I've tried flashing the brights sometimes, but it often just gets completely ignored around here. And there is always traffic so these people create a dangerous situation by forcing you to pass in the middle lane with cars all around you.

Still we get idiots who will flash brights in heavy traffic, with a line of cars ahead of you and to your right, so that there isn't even anywhere to go. Do these guys think they will do this every three car lengths and that the other cars are supposed to clear the whole lane just for them?

I probably pass someone on the right at least once a day during my commute. Amazingly enough, after 14 years of this suicidal behavior, I've come out with nary a scratch.

I'm usually a pretty courteous driver, but if someone comes up behind me and flashes their brights I usually go out of my way to keep them from passing me.

Unless you've been behind them for like 5 minutes and they aren't doing anything to get out of your way, just give them a little time. Most people will move to the right lane as long as there isn't a ton of traffic over there and let you pass. And if they are just driving in the right lane for no reason then go ahead and just pass on the right.
