Those sections where you can overpass in the opposing lane happen few and far between. Plus it seems like you missed a key aspect of the post. Im not saying I want to go over the legal speed limit: if your car is going the speed limit and im behind you then I'm all fine with that. But if you're going so slow you're causing a huge line of cars behind you then thats a problem.
Agreed but I'm downvoting because I'm fairly certain this is a popular opinion. >

Fair enough, sorta thought more people would be like "just slow down you speed demon" >

Well then that’s where you get to the nuance of it. I’m not moving over on a 50mph road when I’m doing 50 because the guy behind wants to do 80. >

This is exactly it. If someone is going below the speed limit (like drastically below), then they need to speed up.  But, if I am doing the speed limit, I don't care how impatient you get. (again, this also isn't talking about camping in passing lanes) >

This is not an unpopular opinion: the only one who doesn't agree with it is the person driving slowly at the front of the line. >

My dad does this and it makes me so anxious. He is the slowest driver on earth and I hate it so much, I can almost feel the anger of the other drivers behind us. >

Does he know that he's annoying the people behind him by not just pulling over or speeding up? >

I really don’t think he’s aware, that’s the worst part. I always have to tell him he’s going too slow. He’ll say “Well, they can pass me.” I’m like “Well, if everyone is passing you maybe you need to speed up.” Then he gets defensive. He’s just way too overly cautious >

That's the thing is we can't always pass that person (at least not legally anyways) like if it's a one lane road. >

I know. I always try to drive if I can help it. He’s the worst haha >

It used to be a law in Wisconsin, back when i lived there, you had to pull over if you were holding up 5 or more vehicals. >

5 seems like a lot, id say like 2 or 3 is reasonable because at that point you might get a guy that instead of going 10 below he's going 5 below which is also super slow >

The worst is two lanes and both cars in each lane are just driving side-by-side 😫 >

This is true, especially one 18 wheeler truck trying to pass another. Always takes forever >

If its a 2 lane road no you DONT have to pull over... if its a multilane highway people have a left lane to pass you. If youre not comfortable gping the actual speed limit you shouldnt be driving. Unless theres weather conditions ie heavy rain or ice you shouldnt be traveling 10 under the limit... >

Yes agreed, I was mostly thinking single lane roads when I posted this. In multi lane roads you shouldn't be in left lane unless you're passing >

Which is weird though because then all trfgic gets backed up in the right lane... sometimes i just cruise in the left lane going 10 over. If someone is comming up ill get over tho >

I feel these people lack awareness of their surroundings or they simply do not care. They are the same people that block aisles at grocery stores. >

Agreed, but......  If I'm already doing 65 in a 55 and 1 or more cars are tailgating, we will ALL be doing 55 Max for the next mile or 2. >

I fully agree it's so annoying to be behind someone being slow as hell and in my experience most slow drivers I saw were usually braking repeatedly which made their behaviour unpredictable it's more dangerous than someone speeding and passing me >

This only applies on single lane highways for me. Otherwise just pass me normally >

Yeah thats kinda what I was trying to get at >

Very popular opinion >

I was driving once in a snow storm on a two lane freeway, a line of cars a mile long behind me. I was new in driving in snow and driving very slow. Normally everyone drives like maniacs here and I was tempted to drive faster, but then I thought, they could all pass I'd they wanted. The line stayed behind me happy of someone forging ahead.
Long story short, it all depends. As long as you drive speed limit or according to circumstances you are fine. Don't let those rushing force you to something you are not ready. >

Under that circumstance I'd agree with you, with a big part of it being a two lane road and they could pass if they wanted. Road conditions obviously play a big part into this. >

In most cases, it's not even just "you should" -- It's literally the law if you're in the leftmost lane on the highway.
It doesn't matter if the speed limit is 70 and you're going 70mph. It does not fucking matter. You get over and let the people behind you pass. You're going to cause an accident because they can't get around you. >


You're going to cause an accident because they can't get around you

How? 
If you are referring to people overtaking dangerously then that isn't the slow person's fault, it's the impatient person overtaking recklessly. >

We aren't talking about who is at fault here, we are talking about preventing an accident.  If you can prevent an accident that wouldn't be your fault, you should obviously do it. >

Just go the speed limit >

It boggles my mind that this is not more of a common courtesy. To go along with it, how the fuck do these people not realize the cars ahead of them are pulling away and gaining distance?! And then they also have cars stacking up behind them. How the fuck can anyone drive a vehicle and be this completely unaware of their surroundings? >

I dont think I've ever seen a single person do it besides me when I was learning to drive or my parents. >

Agreed. I swear theres people that wake up every day and their first thought is "imma be a hinder to everyone around me". Just move aside. Dont drive way below the speed limit. Some of us actually do want to go places in times. >

Everyone down voting this is the problem >

No upvote for you! I completely agree - these people are the bane of existence >

if everything else were identical but the road sign said 20 mph slower and the person were going the exact same speed you'd probably be going slower than them.
you're only mad because you want to go faster than them, not because of the speed they're going.
if roads had no speed limit, would you constantly pull over for people who want to go 120mph all the time? >

There is no reason beyond a fragile ego to not let faster traffic pass you. Why on earth would you want lots of cars held up behind you? It's more dangerous and promotes road rage instead of just letting everyone go about their day.
Unless of course you feel the childish need to be important and act like a police officer that gets to decide how fast everyone else should be going. >

Thank God someone said it. If you want to drive slow then fine, but if you want to hold everyone up then you're a problem >

At least in Germany, by law, you have to drive on the 1st lane and use the 2nd for overtakes. If that one's busy as well, if available, overtake on the 3rd. So I'm downvoting this because the solution and approach is all wrong >

I was moreso talking about single lane roads in a more countryside/rural setting. It still works a bit differently in America, where the left most lane is supposed to be used nearly exclusively for passing, and the right/middle lanes to be used for cruising and getting off at your exit. >

So they should interrupt their already slow trip in a single lane road just because YOU have a car with a better engine, better speed, want to go over the legal speed limit and, for any reason, cannot overpass the slower car on the opposite direction lane? Is that what you're trying to say? Because we are able to just overpass onto the opposite lane if there are no cars incoming and if the section permits it
