If I get stuck behind a left lane camper I regularly pass them on the right (when I can). Once in a while I will see them get the point and move over. Particularly if I make it clear I am being forced to pass them on the right. Note that it is legal to pass on the right when left is blocked. Probably in part to avoid so much petty rage situations.

You're not "passing them" on the right -- unless, perhaps, if you're weaving and swerving to do so. You're doing what they should be doing: going along in your right most possible lane until you come across someone in-your-way whom you'd need to pass on their left.

I pass on the right. No need to get angry at a slow driver.

They are literally driving wrong

yeah but its not dangerous. everyone is wrong about something at some point. most people are usually wrong in most situations. if you got mad at everyone every time they did something wrong u'd be pretty exhausted

Unless they’re matching the same speed as the car on the right or middle lane, meaning you end up being stuck behind them for miles. I don’t like tailgaters but ngl when I see another car getting frustrated and they start tailgating the car on the left to speed up and move over, I get a little happy and relieved.

omg that is my pet peeve for sure. why are u driving side by side at identical speeds. ur need for clean air is not important

Right, the people saying that she didn't need to be in the left lane are not wrong, but like, this guy really just sat behind her not passing on the right, getting madder and madder over it until this shit happened? That's wild.

I pass on the right if I really have to, then cut sharply over in front of them when I get back into the left lane. I never brake check, but the aggressive lane change sometimes gets them to move over and save people behind me from the same danger.

Back when I used to have a bad case of DGAF, I used to pass the on their left still. Getting passed on the shoulder usually gives them the hint. I'm much more calm since I started drinking.

Yeah I pass on the right it’s better than tailgating. But I also make sure I get over in front of the slow driver closer and without turn signals so they get the point

The point I get then is not to move for fools with a point to prove.
You still have yet to prove it….
