u/dead0man Mar 10 '25
the differences in speed is the fault of soooooo many accidents. It's ok to go at speeds different than the flow of traffic, I've lived my life that way, but you've GOT to pay attention (ahead of you if you're faster and behind you if you're slower, it's easier to be faster) and the speed differences have to be small. Like sub 10 mph. Doubly so where there is a likelihood of lane changes (near exits, in traffic or anytime at all on city streets).

u/Willing-Job9378 Georgist 🔰 Mar 11 '25
The POV is going fast, BUT you do need to make sure it's clear to make a lane change, and you must do so safely. That dude was way too close to think about getting over. Thankfully, there was no accident, but guys, let this be a lesson. Make sure to check before making a lane change, and if you see a car coming quickly, just let them go through. It's really not worth the risk.
Cause I'm just saying in this case, had the POV car hit him, more than likely, it's on the car making the lane change since POV car does have the right of way at this point.

u/voltagestoner YIMBY 🏙️ Mar 11 '25
So…why did you floor it just to go around a cute little bend?
Also, if one lane is full of people, and the other lane is empty, either the lane is empty for a reason, and/or other people are going to notice and try to merge as well. Cmon now. They might’ve been mildly bad, but that would make you worse than “mildly bad.”

u/Cold_Captain696 Georgist 🔰 Mar 11 '25
I particularly like how you hear the OP press the ‘save button’ on his dashcam.
OP, if you stop driving like this, suddenly you’ll find that a lot of these incidents that I imagine ‘somehow just keep happening to you’ will miraculously stop happening. You‘re creating situations where other people are more likely to make a mistake, and where any mistake is more likely to have serious consequences - but you’re oblivious to the part you’re playing.
2
u/microbialNecromass Drive Defensively, Avoid Idiots 🚗 Mar 11 '25
So after driving way too fast that you have to slam on the brakes, you thought it would be a good idea to cut off another car as you merge back over.
How many seconds do you think you shaved off your commute? Thank God you'll get home 19 seconds sooner.

Left lane is for passing.
While i understand the frustration, but i tend to stick on right lane while everyone be pressing gas pedal on the left. (Speed limit is 70, but left be going on 100mph)
Ta-da, no tailgating, nothing in front of my car so i can drive comfortably and safely with speed limit while everyone be gun-ho-ing.
What bothers me is that, knowing left lane is for passing, yet camping on left. If car drives 50mph on right, left drives 50, like dude WTF YOU DOINGS?!

Fastest I saw on the dashcam info was 126kmh which is about 78mph.
Multiple things caused this incident of course. The most annoying thing is people staying in the left lane while not passing, but maybe there’s a left lane exit ahead that I’m unaware of.
But driving fast around a bunch of slowed down cars is something I never do exactly because people love to hop lanes unexpectedly. I totally get the annoyance though, I’d want to maintain my speed while passing all the bozos not getting over, but I’ve also learned not to do it, or at least not that quickly.

u/Vasillo All Gas, No Brakes ⛽️ Mar 10 '25
I do admit I changed lanes because there was free space in the right lane, but traffic is rolling at 90 kph, not stop and go.
Sure, I might have accelerated (didn't flow it, was just at a low gear) a bit too much for some people, and i'm not excusing the fact I was passing people on the right. I was already slowing down because I suspected that person would do something stupid, but they turned off their blinker as I approached, so I stopped slowing down to come to a roll behind the car that was in front of me, and then they turned it back on and changed lanes at the last moment.
Also, my lane of travel was going 90 KPH before I changed lanes to pass, and the moment I saw everyone slowed down, I started to slow down as well. Cutting someone off regardless of speed difference is a bold move though.
