    Let them merge. I’d rather give space for those who drive aggressively than be hit. It won’t really affect the time it takes to get from A to B, it reduces stress and accident probability, and I don’t lose points for some race we’re not in. I know some people get mad at passive drivers, but if I’m going around the speed limit in the right lane minding my business, why are you so mad I’m not participating in increasing insurance profits?

      If you’re in a country that typically drives on the left, and you’re driving in the far right lane on a three or more lane road, you’re still doing it wrong. That lane is for merging and exiting. The far left is for passing and the center lanes are for cruising. There might also be turn only lanes, which unless you’re turning can be safely ignored, because the only valid reason to be in a turn lane is if you’re turning.
