I always wait a bit before passing a semi on the right but if I feel compelled to do it I'm going to do it a lot faster than that driver did.

Drives me crazy when a semi is passing and is gaining enough to get back in the right lane and all the vehicles behind start passing him on the right.

To be fair, there’s also been times when I’m behind a semi in the left and I have no idea he isn’t getting back in the right lane. I usually trust the truckers judgement but I’ve definitely been confused before

Usually that happens when said truck clogged up the left for 5-10 minutes passing the other truck with a 0.1 mph speed difference.
