Definitely don't have a problem with that and do just that when there is less traffic. What annoys me is someone trying to tail gate me or blinking thier headlights when I'm going with heavy traffic and the left lane is already moving past everyone on the right. Gtfo what that shit.

That mentality is also not great… can’t afford to eat out, eat at home, then restaurants will still close because the majority of working class people are the ones frequenting these places. We don’t eat out and support you, then you still close. Also restaurants got so much help from Covid relief that other small businesses in the state didn’t get! I also remember all of us ordering take out and tipping 20% to keep our favorite places going during the pandemic! Now you tell us if we can’t afford it stay home during a brutal inflation period we’re all suffering through. Not the best mentality.

No, that’s the thing. I haven’t moved over yet because there’s no room. Once there is room I’ll move over. But if I’m going 70-75 I’ll eventually get past them, it won’t take long. If the person behind me flies up on me going 90, they’re gonna have to slow down a bit and be patient

Seconded. And this doesn't mean you have to leave the passing lane. If you're actively passing people in the second lane, you can be in the passing lane as long as you want. If someone tries to go around you on the right, they're the asshole. However, if there's no one to your right and someone catches up behind you in the passing lane, move the fuck over (though again, if you catch up to someone, give them a second to do so). It's basic fucking courtesy.

I call them “Left Lane Janes”, after my sister-in-law who drives under the speed limit, doesn’t like it when anyone eats in the car, and hangs on to the overhead strap like a subway rider when she’s a passenger.

I drive NJ to RI and back a lot, and have found it’s often faster- especially on 95 in CT, to drive in the extreme right lane..
