So yesterday I am on a 70+ mile round trip into the city in my elderly friends EV on mostly multi lane roads.
I will give him the benefit of the doubt and accept because of his age, being in the left lane 15? miles before he makes his left turn somehow makes sense.
I could have said something, but I am thoroughly convinced within 3? miles he would forget, and most people get really irritated when reminded they have forgot something repeatedly.
I personally live by one very simple rule on the matter.
I don't care who you are, how important you think you are, how expensive or cool your car is, how fast you are driving, etc if you are being passed on the right, you are in the WRONG lane.
With today's already in place technology, why can't new cars have a dash warning sign/light/buzzer indicating being passed on the right and that the driver should effectively "Check your Proper Lane Choice", as a gentle PC suggestion to move over? It should self-disable when the vehicle is stopped or reversing or brakes are being applied or when left turn signal is on?
The driving population will likely increase in average age for at least another decade, meaning this issue is not going to get better on its own for awhile.
