I don't think I'm alone, but when someone follows me too close, my reaction is to slow down. I'm sure scofflaws and chronic tailgaters must realize this?

I always look before I leave on the green see WAY too many fools coming through on the red here. I have never seen anything like it. I must see 2 or 3 a day!

If they look like they have insurance, brake check!

1.  If any driver drives a motor vehicle at a speed so slow as to impede the forward movement of traffic proceeding immediately behind the driver, the driver shall:

(a) If the highway has one lane for traveling in each direction and the width of the paved portion permits, drive to the extreme right side of the highway and, if applicable, comply with the provisions of NRS 484B.630;

(b) If the highway has two or more clearly marked lanes for traffic traveling in the direction in which the driver is traveling, drive in the extreme right-hand lane except when necessary to pass other slowly moving vehicles; or

(c) If the highway is a controlled-access highway, use alternate routes whenever possible.

2.  A person shall not bring a vehicle to a complete stop upon a roadway so as to impede or block the normal and reasonable movement of traffic unless the stop is necessary for safe operation or in compliance with law.

(Added to NRS by 1969, 1487; A 1983, 822; 1985, 339; 1995, 2441; 2001, 1506) — (Substituted in revision for NRS 484.373)

Thanks for posting the above. I think it is likely true in all states.

I notice the rules specify “highways.” I wonder about non-highway arteries such as Eastern Ave in Henderson. It is 3 lanes in each direction. I wonder if non-highway arteries are considered to have “fast” and “slow” lanes.

I’ve taken to driving the speed limit, assuming it is safe, and staying in the right lane (or if needed temporarily) the middle lane based on traffic conditions. I have no desire to be a road boulder impeding the flow of traffic in the left lane, as it isn’t safe for me or anyone else.

Even in the right lane and at 65 mph, sometimes someone gets right on my tail as if doing so will cause me to magically disappear — all so they can gain another 3 or 4 car lengths and repeat the behavior on yet another motorist.

You mean like this https://www.ktnv.com/news/one-dead-o...ummerlin-crash

I'm sure half the people in this thread will blame the Toyota who was trying to make a left turn because they didn't get out of the way of the speeding jeep running the red light. "But officer, the guys on City Data told me that it doesn't matter how fast over the speed limit I'm driving, it's up to the other "slow" people to get out of my way because they're creating an unsafe driving environment for those of us going 90mph!"

Illegal left turn. Toyota's fault.

Doesn't matter how fast or slow the jeep was going. Jeep driver should get speeding ticket.

No kidding! For real, are people late to the airport or something? I've had my car literally shaken by the speed which someone passed me with, while I was going five over the speed limit. On Ann Road, where little kids cross the street to catch the school bus.
