I leave enough room for me to have time to react and give the person behind me enough time to react to my breaking. Because most people drive way too close to avoid a rear-end collision if I have to slam my breaks for an emergency. Sometimes that means I'm 4, 5 or 6 car lengths away from the car in front of me, but that has the added benefit of pissing off tailgators who will almost immediately choose to pass me which works out great for me. The less space the person behind gives, the more space I leave between me and the person in front.
Spoken like a true left lane hogger
Edit: OP is bragging about forcing cars behind them to pass on the right because they are too entitled to get the hell over. It's dangerous and you people applaud them. Pathetic.
Spoken like a true entitled bad driver
Nope, I stay in the slow lane, unless my exit is in the left lane of course.
If they're matching the pace of the car ahead, explain the offense.
Left lane is for passing. The vehicle ahead of them could very well be just as in the wrong if not worse.
If you're pacing the car in front of you, you're already wrong.
Never. Pace. Strangers.
You pass them or let them pass.
They never said they're in the left lane, and in fact specifically specified against it. Sounds like you're both defensive and an aggressive driver.
The vast majority of roads that allow legal passing are 2 lanes. Safe assumption to make. They didn't clarify otherwise until a later comment. This thread is also days old and a settled conversation you are now interjecting into.... why?
It's Lemmy, and it took maybe 5 minutes of scrolling for this to be on my front page. Your comment irked me and I want to increase engagement on the site, sue me.
That is weird and doesn't make sense.
