    This the the guy two inches behind me when I’m already doing 15 over the speed limit

      Same.

      If I’m going faster than other traffic and already over the limit by a decent amount, I’ll move over once the middle lane is clear, but I’m not speeding up just because you’re impatient.

      In fact, I’ll slow down just a wee bit.

      I give no fucks.

      But, the caveat to that is that I don’t loiter in the passing lane at ten under the limit. It’s the passing lane. I’m there because, you know, I’m passing people and not because I think I need to do 95 mph in a lifted truck just to assert my dominance over the morning commute.

        I stay in the passing lane if I am still passing people, but my car’s radar maintains a gap at speed and I’m not going to force it dangerously close. Revving up to climb in my backseat doesn’t make the car in front of me go any faster.

      I think that looks like tailgating because you couldn’t have a sticker to scale with the cars at proper distance from each other. It’s just a model showing cars need to drive in the driving lane not the passing lane.
