Although, if you’re in the left lane and someone manages to pass you on the right, that probably means it’s okay for you to move into the other lane...

If someone passes you on the right, they’re an asshole. If everyone passes you on the right, you’re the asshole.

Actually, in many states you are breaking the law by driving in the left lane for a purpose other than passing. In many more you are breaking the law by not moving over for a faster vehicle coming up behind you, regardless as to whether you agree with their driving choices.

You do realize that if you just let them through, the situation would’t even register... Do you remember the last person to pass you on the left? Probably not... Do you remember the last person who got pissed and aggressive when you were a passive-aggressive a-hole about it? Probably and he probably does too.

You’re not wrong. But if the faster driver is being agressive and tailgaiting it’s probably safer to just get out of their way than become a part of an accident because you wouldn’t move and they in turn did something stupid. Not your fault or responsibility, but for everyone’s sake, it’s usually the better option.

Move to the right, and stop trying to justify your flaccid, passive-aggressive need to be the unofficial traffic cop who clogs up the left lane in a pathetic attempt to force others to abide by your interpretation of the rules of the road.
