- _ph_ 5y agoAs the Tesla was going with constant speed, the person switching the lane must not have checked for it.
- sschueller 5y agoIn many countries passing on the right at highspeed it illegal. If traffic on the left lane was coming to a stop then it is irresponsible for the cars on the left to pass at 65mph.
- Arnt 5y agoPassing cars that stand still without slowing down doesn't have to be illegal in order to be stupid. There's clearly enough blame to share in this situation.
- Dylan16807 5y ago> In many countries passing on the right at highspeed it illegal. Are those countries that also don't let you stay in the left lane? But even if it's illegal to pass on the right, it's still a terrible idea to change lanes to the right without looking behind you!
- Arnt 5y agoI did. Since he moved into the path of a car that AIUI had right of way and wasn't showing any sign of yielding, even after several seconds, I assume that he didn't notice, and that he didn't notice because he didn't really look. (Do vehicles already in a lane have right of way in the US, relative to vehicles who might cross into that lane from another?)
