Time is far more valuable to me than gas. I have no problem with people staying in the right lane though you can drive as slow as you want there. The people who are the problem are the ones who want to get in the middle/left lanes and turn their brain off that's what causes traffic to back up. IMO police should enforce proper lane usage rather than speed. This would also stop traffic caused by everyone bunching up when they encounter a cop on the highway because they're scared to pass him.
It's gotten worse the past few years. Everyone acts like entitled asshats. Middle lane under the speed limit, hammer lane going the same speed as the idiot in the middle lane. Most states it's illegal to pass on the right so you either break the law or you get to follow someone that thinks they're more important than you.
The only time I actually experienced this was in the states. Lady doing 5 under in outside lane, big queue trying to get past by pulling in Infront of me (with space.) Had to push past my Britishness to undertake.
Yea, I've noticed it more since covid. I was on a fairly long interstate drive yesterday and there wasn't enough traffic that I should have ever had to do anything beside set my cruise to 80 and go but instead I was having to adjust for about half of it due to people just hanging out in the wrong lanes and yea, there was a lot of passing on the right because they were pacing each other in the left two lanes. Even fucking semis were doing it and they should absolutely know better. It shouldn't be illegal to pass on the right. It should be illegal to GET passed on the right. If that happens and you're at the front of the line then you're fucking up.
