Yea, I've noticed it more since covid. I was on a fairly long interstate drive yesterday and there wasn't enough traffic that I should have ever had to do anything beside set my cruise to 80 and go but instead I was having to adjust for about half of it due to people just hanging out in the wrong lanes and yea, there was a lot of passing on the right because they were pacing each other in the left two lanes. Even fucking semis were doing it and they should absolutely know better. It shouldn't be illegal to pass on the right. It should be illegal to GET passed on the right. If that happens and you're at the front of the line then you're fucking up.

Totally agree. If it's possible to pass somebody on the right, that person (the one being passed) is in the wrong lane for their speed.
I say that online and people get combative about it and throw out all sorts of insane scenarios like that changes anything. I still haven't seen one that makes sense.
It's amazing, really. Every time you see a pocket of congestion in the freeway, there's a sedan in the front of it, leisurely driving in the middle lane like they're the fucking president in their motorcade of one.
The only scenario that is okay is if they're stuck behind a slower person in front of them and both get passed (assuming they would be going faster than the traffic in the right lane if they guy they're stuck behind wasn't there). It's the guy at the front of the line who is the problem there.
