I am guilty of the speed up if you try and pass me on the right. I also drive an 8,000 lb tow truck that I am way past the scratch stage. I go one step farther and get along side a slower car or truck and stay there. If I am driving the speedlimit or more and passing slower cars there is no reason to try and pass me on the right and cut me off. If I am lazy and not going very fast I am not in the passing lane or will move over for someone faster,but if I am already going fast I won't. I also move over to allow someone on at an on ramp that most people don't seem to do here.
I am all for use both lanes to the merge point but at said merge point everyone need to take a turn. I don't mean fly by at warp 6 then expect to just cut right in. But if done safely it does seem to make traffic flow better. In PA we have big signs that say to use both lanes to merge point but 99% of the time you will come up on 2 big trucks side by side with miles of empty road ahead of them.
I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains. Eat right ,Exercise ,Stay fit, Die Anyway!
