It is illegal to pass on the right. You’re intentionally causing an illegal situation. Get out of the left lane if you safely have room on the right and are being overtaken. Always get out of the left lane.

You clearly don't drive regularly anywhere between DC and Boston. I'd get rear ended if I drove less than 15 over the speed limit in most areas.

I’ve never tried to justify tailgating in my comments. Please stop trying to justify brake checking as something that is acceptable.

“When I brake check”

But the tailgator was only tailgating after the lead vehicle actively slowed. He rolled up on him, but is tailgating when they pass the semi filming. In those same 2-4 seconds, the lead driver takes the aggressive action and brake checks the guy behind him causing a major accident. If he maintained speed or (if he…

The rule does not break down. If he was continuing to pass traffic in the left lane as he did for the first half of the video, then he’s following the rule.

If you watch the video, about 20 seconds before there’s a steady stream of traffic on the horizon. The biker was just be impatient.

To commentors supporting bikers crossing double yellow lines here - you do realize that EVERY vehicle operating on a highway is acttually capable of breaking every speed limit and traffic law as well? You can talk about acceleration, agility and sight-lines all you like, but any argument that includes “for a bike” is…

Double yellow areas are designed to regulate all traffic. I don’t care if you have an old ford, a harley, a Lamborghini, or a rice rocket. There are blind turns, hidden driveways, neighborhoods, cattle and farm equipment crossings - any number of things that justify double yellows.

That and, well, the whole bike gang violence thing. ;)

It’s the face of God, man! The Face of God!!!

Safety.

It’s called reading. Pick up a book - and then have a conversation about it with other interesting smart people. ;)

Someone needs a hug.

I wish the shadow of this bird was in frame.

Completely agree. It’s ok to make crisis for yourself or to put in as much time as you like to further your own career, but if someone is on salary and not sharing in the profits you can’t expect to inflict your own pain on them unless that’s part of the job made clear up front.
