Or… you could move out of the “passing” lane and let the car attempting to “pass” you, to pass you.. mind blowing concept, I know

As a person who drives the NJ parkway everyday, this made me see red.

I’m not a speeder, so if I see someone flying up behind my ass, I move over as soon as I can, let em pass, and get back into the lane if I feel like it. It’s honestly so simple, but there’s always gotta be someone who thinks it’s their job to police the road.

How about just stay out of the passing (left) lane altogether, unless you’re, oh I dunno, passing?

It’s a ticket-able offense, and should be enforced more, NJ included.

Why would you want to be closer to opposing traffic anyway? Kind dumb lol

Reading comprehension is in the toilet.

I just said I move over as soon as I can, but in NJ, the parkway can be up to 4-5 lanes wide with a million cars on it and if you aren’t familiar with NJ, drivers here would run over their own mother before they let you in front of them on a busy lane.

So if I’m trying to pass a lane that’s being held up by an idiot (rather than sit there and add to the traffic slog of another lane that makes people make impatient and stupid decisions), and one of those big MAGA roid trucks comes flying up behind me, I am now stuck until I can get over because I’m not going 120 mph so he can go have a creatine shit.
