Lucky, you are reading too much into it... |
Let me make some analogies. When driving we generally want people to pass on the left. So the rule is keep right except to pass. So there are times when I come up on someone in the left hand lane on RT93 who's just driving there, not passing a soul. And I don't mean in heavy traffic. That person is being rude. I have no problem if that person is actually passing another car (or about to, or have just done it) no matter how slower than me he may be going. Use the passing lane reasonably and then get right. That's being courteous.
People sometimes have to stop on the road (now I'm not talking RT93). OK, sometimes that happens. But if you're stopping in the road to read a map when you could have pulled (even partly) off the road, so others could get by ... well that's rude.
Context is important.
