[QUOTE="deleted member, post: 113311, member: 816"] i always drive faster than most on 4 lanes. bout 9-11 over. but, once i am done passing, i move over to the right. on really busy highways, you are almost never "done passing". so, i spend most of my time in the left lane. but, as soon as i see someone gaining on me, i make a darn good effort to get over into the right lane as soon as possible. if there is someone next to me going 4 mph over, than that might take a few seconds as i am not going to go 20 mph over because someone else is. but, i will accelerate a bit to get the pass and change over with as quickly as possible. so, that places me in the right lane is for cruising and left lane is for passing crowd i think. the headlights thing has been hashed out before. these highways are designed so that shouldn't be a problem. it is not against the law to keep your brights on unless there is someone within so many feet in front of you on your side of the highway. the NDHP has actually answered this question on the radio before and they encourage you to leave your brights on when traversing divided highways because of the safety factor. when you are doing 70-75+ mph, your stopping/braking distance may very well be farther than your low beams reach and you will have trouble stopping in time. this isn't an opinion thing that makes people jackasses. its actual studied science. so, even thought it may make me a jackass in some people's eyes, i guess i have to put myself in the category of folks who keep their high beams on when on divided highways unless i have someone in front of me on the same side of the divided highway.
