Sometimes you need to pass on the right.

I disagree. This is illegal every time, and extremely dangerous.

[/ QUOTE ]

Uh, what? I'm pretty sure this isn't illegal anywhere in the US. Germany, maybe. Unless you're talking about driving on the shoulder.

[/ QUOTE ]

I stand corrected. After searching it seems you can pass on the right on a two-lane or three-lane roadway.

I would like to retract the statement 'Passing on the right is illegal'

and replace it with

'Passing on the right is a dick move.'

I agree that it is a dick move...when not warranted. If someone is sitting in the left lane and you have somewhere to be then you have no choice left.

I think cruising in the passing lane when you can easily get over and back into the passing lane after the guy behind you passes is the 'bigger??' dick move than simply passing on the right.

If however you are referring the the guy who accelerates to gain a one car spot during heavy traffic and then cuts off the person in the passing lane that he just passed causing everyone behind him to brake. Then I'll go along with you.

Best road rage even I witnessed. Fairly minor in all honesty. Leaving the gym. Get to a intersection. Woman gets out of her car on the red light. Walks to the drivers side window of the car behind her. Berates the driver for 30 seconds about tailgating her on this road because she has kids in the back seat. I didn't see the guy do anything terrible in the brief bit that I was following, but she was very upset and I was amused.

(Pretty much everyone around here follows with maybe a car length between cars - 35mph road)

So, people driving slow in the left lane puts you on tilt but you think it's wrong to pass them on the right when they refuse to move? Sounds like a recipe for success.

Two wrongs do not make a right.


Doing something you know is a dick move and also hate when other people do the exact same thing is probably the dickiest dick move in all of Dickdom.

27,

If you actually think passing on the right is a "dick move" when there's someone just cruising along in the left lane blocking traffic, you're in a very, very small minority.

That's not really what I said

blinden84 had the answer I most agree with:

"I hesitate, but just long enough to beep 3 times and flash them some high beams to try and make them realize they are being an ass, then I pass them in the right lane. "

What I said was:

If you hate something other people do, and then do the exact same thing when you deem it appropriate, you are a huge, huge tool.


For example, there was a time in my life I would sit there and rant to myself while driving "Well, maybe if you put your [censored] cell phone down and just drove..." to the lady in front of me.
Then one day my cell phone rang shortly after one of these rants and I found myself doing the exact same thing I was bitching about someone else doing.

I just try to apply how I think others should act to how I should act as well.
Now this concept will surely put me in 'a very, very small minority'.

I have a theory that many of these motorists are the same
people in your Yambag thread. Also, I think we need a
separate forum for the Massholes who invariably swarm to
any other MH's posts [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

ugh last night i'm behind a pickup truck when the guy throws a cigarette out the window and it hits my car, sparks flying. i was so pissed off that i got close so i could read his license plate. i want to do awful things to his car. maybe i'll talk myself out of it by the time i find out where he lives.

This is funny, and by 'funny' I mean 'very true'.

I'm telling you, it's those Central MA games...
