Sometimes you see people get scared (you see them wobble), sometimes people try to move over so quickly it's dangerous (suddenly getting in between two cars on the right lane).It's quite funny to see, but it makes it very difficult not to speed up when you get a free left lane ahead of you. I usually call it the "Mustang lane". :must restrain myself: <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />I live near a tunnel under a river, where people have to stay in their lane, not allowed to move over. My car sounds great in that tunnel, so I usually shift down and MAKE A LOT OF NOISE. I always see the car before me get really, really nervous.Sometimes when I'm just chilling, not speeding at all but just cruising in the slow lane, I get people afraid to pass me, and there will be a line of cars behind me that will not pass me. Whether they are scared, or just enjoying the V8 sound, I don't know.One exceptions though: BMW's and Audi's do NOT move over, they usually slow down in the fast lane when I'm behind them and they stay there as long as they can. But everybody knows they look like d*cks in those cars so I just feel sorry for them.</blockquote>
