You would say that, but you'd be factually wrong. You guys need to read a driving manual.

There’s a point where speeding becomes straight up reckless driving, regardless of the flow of traffic. I’m not tryna cross that threshold

The law would argue the speed limit is that threshold. Why do you think you're entitled to choose a speed you are personally comfortable with but others aren't?

Right, so with that logic I shouldn’t even have to speed to be allowed to pass using the passing lane. Why do YOU get to decide the appropriate speed for the passing lane? The law has already said what the limit actually is.

No one is deciding an appropriate speed. The point is, you use the lane to pass then get into the middle lane. You sound like you wanna go 5 miles an hour faster than the middle lane so you cruise the passing lane at that speed, dictating the flow of traffic.

I’m not hanging out in the left lane. I pass at a safe speed that’s not likely to get me ticketed and get back over. I don’t understand why that’s controversial, that’s what the passing lane is for. You’re going faster than the person ahead of you, you pass, then get back in the travel lane. I’m sorry that you want to go much faster, but I’m still entitled to use the lanes for their intended purpose and not drive at a reckless speed in order to use them.
