    Sure. But if you have no one in front of you, and a line of people behind you, you’re the asshole, even if you’re going 10 over. Move over and let them by.

      The implication is that there is someone in the right lane that they are passing. Without running that person off the road, getting over has to wait until the pass is complete. Tailgating that person isn’t going to make that faster, just more dangerous, and if you’re doing it to me I will slow down, so it will also take longer.

      Don’t drive like an entitled cunt, and these issues just magically don’t happen to you. I’ve never tailgated someone and had to deal with them slowing down, brake checking, or literally anything else, because I don’t tailgate people like an asshole.

      This is true as long as they’re not actively passing traffic to the right (assuming 2 lane highway). If they are driving in traffic and actively passing cars on the right then anybody behind should not be tailgating.
