    i mean. as long as you are passing, and not speeding, it’s not “camping in the passing lane.”

    just because a dbag comes up behind you wanting to go 20 over the limit and you are not passing “fast enough” does not mean you are camping either.

      Depends on the jurisdiction. In Germany, you must not overtake anyone unless you are “driving with significantly higher speed”.

      This is basically unenforced though.

        but always still under the limit? interesting! so overtaking a 20 under person is fast time wise but someone going 5 under makes the effective limit lower?

          There’s no limit on the German Autobahn!

            *Certain sections of the Autobahn

            However, many countries have laws that allow you to exceed the posted speed limit by a certain amount as long as you are overtaking.

        Same in Colorado, if people want to pass you’ve gotta move over even if you’re doing 20 over the limit

        Fuck, Georgia is a terrible state to get ticketed in. In other states, if the cops don’t show up to court, they throw the case out. But in Georgia, if the cop doesn’t show up, the court case is rescheduled.

        Source: receiving two speeding tickets in Georgia while living out of state (two separate occasions. One at night when there was no one else on the road to gauge my speed by, and the second in a speed trap just moments after I recounted the first story to the passengers in the car. Fuck driving in Georgia.)
