Do you let people pass you when you are driving in your car?

Question

Is it considered a good manner?

Answer 1

I do....but having said that i also have a sticker on the back of my car that reads..."the closer you get, the slower I go"

I hate tailgaters
grrrrrrrrr

Answer 2

If they're going faster than me? Absolutely (except in situations like Mary L described--I don't reward rudeness!) And yes, it's considered good manners to let people pass, and a safe driving practice as well. In the countryside, it's common for a heavily laden car or pickup to pull half over on the shoulder and wave a faster car by them.

The only people I know who refused to be passed *really* have to reevaluate how they measure their sense of self-worth :-)

Answer 3

Yes, it is considered good manners to allow those who wish to pass you to do so. I cannot stand drivers who cut in from the right or left and turn without signaling. As one gets older one's driving habits change for the better. Courtesy and safety are the main issues. Drive defensively. If you think that the other guy/gal will make a mistake be careful. They will.

Answer 4

Yes, I let them pass me by and yes, it is a good manner.

Answer 5

Depends on what kind of mood I'm in... If I'm happy I let people pass all the time.. it's very nice to let people pass...
