Comment on Okay but like the light has been green for 0.3 seconds

I’ve always felt like the courtesy is to move over to right if someone coming behind you on left lane was going faster than you, then pop back into the left lane. Some disagree and feel like even if you’re going 1 km/h faster than the person on the right lane (or just 1 km/h over the limit) then it’s alright to be on the left/passing lane. I feel like that unnecessarily clogs up the left lane.

But that probably depends on how heavy the traffic is and whatnot.

That’s not courtesy, that’s law. Keep right except to pass.

Done passing? Get right.

Not passing fast enough? Gtfo.

…if there’s room to move right, you shouldn’t’ve been in the left lane no matter what speed you were driving…

  nah, it’s stupid to move over for literally two seconds only to move back to the left lane
  
  it happens frequently enough to me that I’m passing two cars at a differential of maybe 10km/h and somebody comes up behind me going faster. I’ll drop my speed and sidle into the right lane to let them pass and move right back over
  
  I get what you’re saying. I agree. but there are situations where you can be actively passing but also have some space to let someone by. it’s not required because you’re passing, but it might be nice if it’s a long line of cars

  It’s a bit ridiculous to start constantly bopping in and out to every available crack. And likely more dangerous too since you’re moving between the lanes.
  
  If there’s plenty of room and you wouldn’t be passing the next car anytime soon, yes of course. If you’d be passing the next car soon anyway and there’s nobody going faster behind you (wanting to pass you), doesn’t seem necessary.
  
  Reminds me of a friend who moves over to the right most lane on a three lane road since that’s where you technically need to be, even though we both know it will soon become a turning lane, then a joining lane for people coming to the highway and then the lane is going to end. Boggles the mind
