If you are on any U.S. highway, there is always someone who thinks the ideal speed limit is 10 mph faster than whatever the speed of traffic is in the left lane. They will tailgate you until you change lanes to let them pass, causing everyone in the lane to the right to adjust to the change in traffic, and then repeat the process for every car in front of them, or they will attempt to pass you on the right, creating dangerous traffic situations. Best of all, this person genuinely believes that, "If everyone drove like me, there would be no traffic."

Just to confirm, does this imply you just drive in the left lane like normal without activley passing?

Why is this passive aggressive "hurr durr found the left lane camper" comment on every literally post about left lane tailgaters?

Have you literally never driven in any Metropolitan area ever? I see it daily... lines 10+ cars deep of traffic maybe a single carlength apart, all doing 85 in the left lane, constantly passing middle lane traffic, as if that's somehow going to make the 1/2 mile of traffic ahead of them go faster.

The number of aggressive tailgaters I see during my commute easily outweighs the left lane campers by 10:1
