I see a driver continuing in the left lane slowly catching up with a phalanx of traffic in the right lane. I speed up, pass him on the right and move to the left lane in front of him and pass the phalanx at a 10 to 15 mph differential (leaving him behind to continue going less than 5 mph faster than them). Another is where I'm passing and I see a car in the right lane catching up to slower traffic. I speed up before he catches up to the vehicle in front of him such that he won't change lanes in front of me. Doesn't always work though ...

I watch for mergers who wait until the last minute,too. I look ahead to spot ending lanes and change well before the ending lane,so traffic flows without slowing for LMLs. -- Jim Yanik jyanik at localnet dot com
