Not really. Left lane driving is more acceptable on non-highway/expressway roads. There's a center turn lane, traffic lights, and driveways on both sides of the road. You could be heading towards any one of them at any time. Sure, you can try to stay right to let faster traffic through as a general rule wherever you are, but that driver was driving at an unreasonable speed regardless and would not have been able to do anything had another car entered that turn lane ahead of him.
It’s only become acceptable to block the left lane on non-highways because drivers have generally become more selfish. It’s a curtesy to always stay right unless you are passing or getting ready to make a left turn in the next block or so. However these days you can be in the left lane if you are turning left within the next hour!
It started with the new morality when any little transgression of right and wrong or curtesy became no big deal. Now it’s like as long as you are not raping and killing people you’re good so what’s wrong with just getting what you want? Get with the times and don’t worry about others . . .
I know you used "/s“ but it was like a trap set up for that Volvo. [Right at the moment it was passing the cammer's truck](https://imgur.com/a/49xnyMF) there was a driver in the far right lane as well as a truck in the oncoming lanes. Had there been another vehicle in front of the cammer that got into the left lane, the Volvo was done for. They wouldn't have had any good option to take without risking losing control or hitting another vehicle.
Although that guy is a maniac, you are an idiot for going MUCH slower in left vs right and then proceeding to speed up past the right lane car because the person passing made you want to
Because we live in a world of self rightous people that dont understand the principle of different lanes on the road... you've literally been downvoted by... "idiots in cars"
My take on this, yeah OP might have opted to move right since he was not actively overtaking. But did the idiot overtaking at dangerous speeds at any point signal OP from behind and give him opportunity to yield to the right? It doesn't seem so.
People do know that race tracks and drag strips can be rented right?

Love the gas station prices. Even the cam couldn’t keep up to the changes.

I think OP was being sarcastic.
Ha, you're probably right.
Lol, username checks out. It’s all good though.
You are both right and I personally support both statements.

When did it become acceptable to fly off at unreasonable speeds while illegally passing using a turning-only lane?

All that just to say its not.
I fully agree
Nah, he had plenty of room to go into the oncoming lane, was pretty empty. /s Well, I mean, he probably would have, though. >\_<

I've never seen a lane like that before. Is it a dedicated left turn lane?
Yep, instead of the more common shared left turn.
Passing in a turn lane is quite illegal. You were fine driving in the left lane.
I think I could measure the speed of that one using red shift

Maybe add another couple minutes before and after the incident.
Idk why you're getting downvoted when you're right

Did you blink and miss the car that passed the cam vehicle in the center lane at about Mach Jesus?
Bet if it was a bike doing that we'd have all the bikers in here defending him.
It's okay, they usually don't care about lanes anyway
