    Hypothetical: The next lane to the right is going appreciably slower than the left lane. Traffic is dense enough to make it very difficult to get back over if you leave the left lane to allow the person behind you to pass.

    Do you still get over and allow them to pass or do you keep moving at the speed you want to but make the person behind you mad?

      Why it be difficult for you to get back over? If you’re holding up a LINE of traffic and not just one guy, you are the issue

        This is based on a situation I have found myself in. With traffic dense enough to limit distance to gain speed, it could be difficult to merge back into the left lane if it is moving significantly faster. This is more common when traffic doesn’t form a line, but it’s constant and heavy like around quitting time.
