Audi Caravan

[Huw Powell]

> 2) If for some reason you are in the fast lane, and a car is fast approaching you (say 20+mph), MY preference would be that you stay and I go around you (this is so I don't rear end you).

this is wrong, really wrong, especially if illegal speeds are part of
the picture.  Except where passing on the right (slow side) is legal,
sure, the car on the left should be paying attention and get out of the
way - but if they don't the lear jet pilot behind them should SLOW DOWN,
and if the only way around the slower car is the "wrong way," do it
safely, ie no more than 5-10 mph faster than them.

You've already established that they might not know you are there - so
YOU need to exercise caution not knowing what their reaction to seeing
you behind them will be.

When you are breaking the speed laws (and don't we all?), the highway
does not turn into your personal racetrack. The default condition for
any kind of safety is *always* to return to legal operation before
demanding that other drivers start to follow your "race track rules."

And no one has even mentioned *signalling* before these lane changes
yet...
