This is a good video also that shows why douchebag drivers who weave through traffic and tailgate cause more traffic jams. However, I guess it can't be helped since it's also based on driver reactions. Seems like autonomous driving can help ease congestion.

I'll never understand what's going on in the head of the driver that goes 80km/h side by side in the left lane, then when people start passing on the right lane (which is legal) he speeds up to 110 km/h and sticks in the left lane...

Some people just drive with emotions and pride over logic.

Some people are just hopelessly stupid.
fixed
we live in a society where stupidity like that gets coddled instead of getting punched in the face and rolled into a gutter

Berz out.
and on the flip side I hate getting tailgated in HOV

HOV is to reduce emissions and provide an expressway but not a passing lane. I'm not going to break 2 laws (probably already speeding, then crossing solid white) just because the guy behind me is impatient and riding on my ass. I will yield only when the lines become dotted but not any sooner

it blows my mind that some people think that the left lane is "the fast lane" and the right is the "slow lane"

no you idiot, the left lane is for passing so move the fuck over

God forbid when you drive a car that is a bit nicer than average. Left lane hoggers really take issues with you passing them on the right so they speed up to block and being the model citizen you are you dont want to risk speeding even more so you are stucked.

First world problem.

Very true, but I honestly don't feel guilty about it, in fact I'll look over to see who's driving when I pass them in the right lane while speeding. If I'm really frustrated and there are no other cars around I'll make it a point to get back in the left lane and drive just under the pace they were doing to reciprocate the love.

Soccer mom doing her make up while talking on the phone and coffee in one hand in giant suv going below the speed limit on the fast lane.

they are not wrong if the sign says 'slower traffic keep right'
but I think the local signage says 'keep right except to pass'

My issue is people crawling past on the left lane.
If you're going to pass, then hurry the fuck up and pass. Don't crawl +10 faster. Line of cars in right lane going 80 and you're passing doing 90 on the left?

Was on Sea to Sky and the passing lanes are only so long. So I'm stuck behind this idiot crawling past the slow traffic. Just as the passing lane ends, I'm forced to merge back in with the pack of idiot slow drivers cause the dickhead that was passing at 90 blocked me in the passing lane. Moron.

This is why I hate it when cops set up speed traps at the end of passing lanes (i.e. Malahat).
