Again...if there are vehicles behind you, you must move to the right lane.

Wheeles also addressed people who had questions about the application of the law, with one person asking if it applies even if the “slow” car is going the speed limit.

“The spirit of the law is that since many people drive well above the speed limit, it creates an ‘accordion effect’ as traffic starts backing up behind the slower vehicle,” Wheeles said. “This is where many of our crashes occur on the interstates. It’s all in the name of safety.”

Yes but if I’m passing someone and the person behind me is tailgating, they are getting a break check

I guess move to Indiana

I guess move to Indiana

...or start citing the accordion drivers in the left lane here in Texas.

I can't speak for Indiana, because I never lived in that state, but all the drivers in its neighbor Ohio drive like Houston drivers. Across the entire state. It's brutal. IF Indiana is at all similar to Ohio, I am can see the police actually cracking down on it.

Why? Is the risk of an accident worth it? “But it would be their fault”... yeah, and you or your kids or whoever could be hurt or killed if they hit you. Or, your road rage could ignite their road rage and....

If they are too close, just move out of the way.

Then they win. The passing lane is for passing. If I'm passing someone, why do they continue to tailgate? Its ridiculous and uncalled for.

If you brake check someone and it causes and accident you better hope there are no dash cam's or witness's. You sure will be at fault.

cuz you aren't passing fast enough...

[Easttxhunterr]

it just drives me crazy when I'm already do 80 in the passing lane so that I can pass someone and the impatient SOB's are still tailgating you.

Is this the accordion effect they were speaking about ?

Better hope there are no skid marks either or have something to explain why you hit your brakes on a freeway. Brake checking is a willful act of aggression, not to mention stupid to do at 70 MPH.

and tailgating someone isn't?

I dont see it as the same.

Some people just call it drafting

To expand. What gets me, is on I-10 heading east on a long weekend when the traffic is awful.

And people get in the right lane to pass people in the left, that are generally already speeding. So then people in the left start tailgating each other to keep people from cutting them off from the right lane. I am guilty of it and would say that most go about the same speed and it works for the most part. The system starts breaking down when people start braking for no reason.

I also cant stand when traffic backs up just after Sealy by the Brazos.

That traffic never makes sense
