FROM THE LEFT LANE (Article – 9) – SHOW COURTESY TO THOSE KEEPING TO THE RIGHT!

When you are happily whizzing along in the left lane and someone in the right lane wants to get in front of you so they can pass the even slower person in front of them it makes sense to let them get in front of you, even if it means you will have to go a little slower for a while. The reason for this is simple. One reason people don’t keep right is that they don’t want to get trapped behind a slow person in the right lane. By allowing people easy access back to the left lane you eliminate that reason. It is unreasonable to expect everyone to get stuck in the right lane so you don’t have any inconvenience. The road you are driving on was paid for by all of us.

Show courtesy to the guy behind you who wants to go faster.

Courtesy is two way. Suppose you just moved into the left lane to pass some slow vehicle in the right lane. Don’t take all day to pass it while cars are accumulating behind you. If you only want to go 1 m.p.h. faster than that slow vehicle consider going 3 m.p.h. faster while you are doing the passing. You will only be going 2 m.p.h. faster than you want for a little while and you will be passing in 1/3 the time. Remember that milliseconds can add up to gridlock.
