Hi guys,
I’m a new driver here(US) but I have had experience from when I was 12 in India (I’m 16 now). I normally go fine on local roads. The way I drive on the highway has me questioning this.
Here’s how I drive:
I get into the left-most lane
I do at least 70 mph (depends on the flow of traffic if I go faster or slower) (I will try to flash my lights first someone did that to me and I moved over)
I’ll pass on the right if the person in front is going slow and holding up the traffic behind them (me and other cars)
I change lanes more than the average person (I check the rearview mirror, side mirror, and my blind spot every time I switch)
If there is no one in front of me I speed up to 80 or 90 mph and I catch up to the next group of cars
This is a general list of how I drive on the highway. Is this being reckless?
You aren’t necessarily being reckless, but you aren’t following the law.
Stay right except to pass or let someone merge. The left lane is not for what you subjectively consider fast!
