    To be clear, I do not advocate tailgaiting or passing on the right, I pretty much always leave early, always use GPS even for local trips (I’m in the middle of a bunch of suburbs and highways and there’s always a slowdown/accident) and I don’t generally go more than 10 over.

    If you’re slower than the flow, you should be in the right unless you know you’re going to need to be on the left. You should not be going slower than the people on your right, legal, not legal, doesn’t really matter.

    Those people blowing by on the right are riskier than riding in the middle. Sooner or later, they’ll overtake on the right, find there’s a car in the blind zone ahead, and swerve back into the person running in the middle.

    Unknown sudden lange changes? use GPS

    Clunker? don’t drive a car that’s unsafe

    Already speeding? doesn’t much matter, if everyone else on the road is going faster, you’re putting yourself in danger.

    Driving slower in the middle should only be done as an exception, for your own safety.
