Should probably go 12 mph under if you want them to pass
Then they'll brake check you after to punish you for being in their way
Then you should get the fuck out of the left lane
I'm sorry, I thought you were in a fucking rush. Guess not if you have time to break check.
Excellent way to miss the point
Move the fuck over, you're not a traffic cop
Driving home one night, lots of traffic on the highway, and I notice I can't see the headlights of the car behind me they are driving so close to my bumper. So I ease off the gas and as soon as I can move over to the right. (Note, I was keeping up with the traffic in the left lane, I just wasn't riding their ass considering we're lined up as far as the eye can see)
This guy passes me and pulls in front of me, only to break check and slow to a fucking crawl. Left hand lane is still full, so once there's an opening I move over and accelerate so this asshole doesn't have room to get in. Traffic lined up behind me too so I have no idea how long it took him to get back over into the left lane. For someone so damn impatient he ended up wasting his own time for no reason.
All this is to say:
Neither are you. It's not your role to "punish" people who weren't moving fast enough for you. Just move the fuck on.
