if someone is in the middle lane who won't yield, then the driver can
pass in the left lane. that's what the left lane is for.
if there's a left lane hog, then the problem is the llh, not the person
who is trying to pass.

then that poor schmuck is the problem.

on one hand you say it's an exception and on the other say this is a
common occurrence. both cannot be true.
just how often does it happen?
post a dashcam video. let's see just what's really happening.
