Motorway ettiquette?

Question:
I understand you're not obliged to, but do you (as far as saftey allows);
alter your speed or change lanes to allow people to move on to the motorway more easily?
alter your speed or change lanes to allow people to change lanes more easily?
I often do if it's safe to do so, but have found that very few people are prepared to do so. It strikes me as a little strange.

I need a cheap moving company...I'll even drive the truck myself. Moving one way from Ontario to Newfoundland

I do where it is practical but what bugs me is when you are sat in a traffic jam doing 10 miles and hour or completely stopped and some div is sat behind you beeping and flashing for you to move out of the way!! where exactly do they think they are going to go once you have moved??! i get so angry at this however i do know what my car can and cant do and will move out of the way if it is reasonable to do so. also, i hate hate hate middle lane hoggers!! this causes everyone to get into the outside lane and cause jams and crashes!! people need to start leaving earlier so they dont have to drive so fast if they are late and also have a bit of consideration for other people and get out of my backside!

I'm driving from Richmond CA to Fresno CA which way is the best way HWY 5 or 99?

Why do people lane hog - that's what drives me mad?! On a dual carriageway - speed limit of 50mph there was a woman doing 50 in the right hand lane - wrong! I was doing the same speed and was right up behind her - would she move - OH NO! I flashed my lights at her - she ignored me - I did it again - she gestured at me and I then ended up undertaking her. I know this is wrong (I'm in the UK) but I really didn't have much choice other than slowing right down or hitting her car with mine! When I undertook she hurled abuse at me about the speed limit being 50mph. I didn't have a problem with that but she was in my way, if she'd been in the left hand land I would have easily got past her. Some people should basically never pass their driving tests!

How do I put gas in the car?

I do it (wherever possible). It just seems like common courtesy and makes the drivers life easier as they enter the motorway. It stops them from having to slow down after they have built up enough speed to enter the motorway at a relatively fast speed. It also helps the drivers on the motorway keep to a continued speed instead of them slowing down.

Makes perfect sense to do it to me.

Why is the right lane the slow one?

What you are describing is just good driving, awareness of other road users and courtesy.Unfortunately you are in a minority. The general awareness of what is going on around them the forward thinking, anticipation of most roads users is very limited.

Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane?

I do to allow people on to the motorway if I am in the inside lane and my experience has shown that most people do do this. However, I don't often do it to allow people into an outside lane, they should only move out if there is a big enough gap. Slowing down in the outside lane to allow them in can cause accidents

Lane changing is a difficult one. Far too many of us seem to hog the middle lane. This is born of a fear of being trapped between two slow moving trucks with no hope ever of getting out into the middle and thus being able to pass them.

When will automakers make a full size truck that can get 50 MPG?


At best, motorway driving in the 21st century is pure hell. I first hit the M1 [our first brand new motorway] in c1960 in my E-Type Jaguar - a roaring monster V8. That was 'real motoring'. The average family saloon then might manage about 70 to 80mph - meanwhile my Jag could reach speeds of around 120-130mph - talk about vroom! Blimey.

Driving time from Painesville OH to SAVANNAH GA.?


Now we're mostly stuck in traffic jams. One often hears of jams up to six or more miles long. Due mainly because the fuzz have closed off an exit so that we're all forced to the next exit resulting in the jam thing.

In the UK, why do bus drivers have breaks en-route?


To be honest, if you want to enjoy motoring, try the A-Roads. For something really exciting, hit the B-Roads with their twists and turns and narrowness. But, do it in a high powered sports car. Shrieking around a blind bend at 80mph is not a good idea. You either die hitting the solid as rock farm tractor coming the other way or crash into the ditch on the other side, with airbag firmly wedged against dead face.

Why do people drive slow in the fast line and then speed up when you attempt to pass them?


When driving on the inside lane of the motorway, you are not obliged to slow down or give way to anyone entering the motorway and wishing to get into your lane. Drivers wishing to join traffic on the motorway should join it behind the next vehicle behind which there is a suitable gap.

Why Do People Drive so SLOW on the freeway???

Yes, I do those, but like you, find that I am a rarity. I also obey the Give Way to oncoming traffic signs that others seem to ignore.
Good manners are fast disappearing from our behaviour, especially on the road.
Let's keep doing what we know to be polite :)

Very strange, it is up to those who wish to enter the motorway, or change lanes to adjust their position and speed to suit the traffic, not for the traffic to adjust to them.
