Being able to drive safely also means being able to prioritize. It’s not to anyone’s benefit to be so blinded by the rules that you’d drive into a brick wall if one appeared in the road.
Spineless drivers are nearly as dangerous as arrogant drivers.
Definitely not true. I drove a cab for 12 years, it went great. I don’t tailgate, I don’t get in people’s way, and I don’t drive like a feckless confused imbicile.
I did this recently, scared the shit out of them and they quickly found a spot to turn off and park. I think they thought I was trying to do some kind of pit maneuver to get behind them or something, when I just wanted them off my ass.
I’ve had people tailgate me in the right lane for miles before deciding to pass, even with a completely open left lane. And it’s usually a pickup.
most people are brain dead cruise control zombies. i stay as far away from all cars on the highway as possible.
… there’s nothing wrong with cruise control
no there isn;t. there’s a problem with zombie drivers though
Why not just pull into the empty left lane and have them pass on the right? One less thing for you to think about.

Because the safest thing for everyone is to drive predictably, and that means following the rules and you don’t pass in the right lane.
Unless you’re in Houston, where you often get passed on the right even when you’re in the right-most lane.

Who said anything about being spineless.
FYI, everyone who drives near you hates you.
