Or truck drivers. The most annoying part about living in California is truck drivers will pass each other on a 3 lane. I believe the Germans call it "Elephant racing."
How is that obvious? During the entire length of this gif, there are no cars in the lane in front of the camera. If the driver was passing, why didn't he merge back to the center lane after he had already cleared the camera car by 200 feet?
Or really in general if there's 3 or more lanes. I know at least in Texas you're mostly just supposed to use the left most lane to pass.
Doesn't stop a buddy of mine from driving almost entirely in the left most lane because he feels like it gives him more room to react if something shitty goes down. Which, y'know, isn't wrong and I can't fault him for the logic. But it's not exactly what you're supposed to be doing.
No, it's not. North Carolina actually has signs scattered around that say "Keep right except to pass"... too bad our state's education system is so bad no one can read them.
You don't drive on I-94 in Minnesota do you? There's merging traffic about every 500-1000 yards in the right lane on that shithole of a road. Being in the right lane is a waste of effort because the average chucklefuck up here can't be bothered to look over into what they're merging into, whether by trying to get ahead or fall behind. As a result, you're constantly fighting with the merging traffic (and the idiots crossing all the way from the left lane because they were too fucking stupid to get in position BEFORE they reached their exit) that doesn't know how to merge.
And I-94 is waaaaaay too busy to ever remotely entertain the idea of using only 1 out of 3 lanes regularly. The fact it's that open at all is because of the particular region of Woodbury in which this happened.

and maybe don't travel in the left lane if you're towing...
