The habit is highly infuriating. There is a reason why it is called a 'pass' or a 'fast' lane. Could it be that so many of them are ignorant or insensitive? Women, micras and even some men are guilty of this.

But worse culprits are the tricycle riders who seem to believe that the dotted centre lines are drawn specially for them to guide their keke to the centre of the road. Those ones don't even stick to the fast lane. They drive down the exact centre of the road.

Are there no traffic laws that prohibit this irritating behaviour?

Its very frustrating and when you correct them, they act like fools and start speaking rudely.

That's the quality of fellows we have in this part of the world.

They dont know which is fast lane or slow lane

Drive safely and carefully... Fast lane or not, make God dey keep us

Bros this behaviour makes me want to commit homicide most times.
See ehn,I am a very fast driver and I mean it.But then,I always pull over to the slow lane irrespective of how fast I am going to give way for a faster driver,not stay there.
There is one thing i do when someone is going slow on the fast lane.I accelerate very violently and hard,pass him,get in front of him,then slam the brakes very hard to come to an emergency stop.
Their reaction always make me happy
The way they fumble with their steering and sway from side to side gives me joy.
I most times wish an incoming truck ram them as they are swaying and total their cars for that fuckerish behaviour.
Nonsense.

I pray and hope you'd try this to a very frustrated and angry trigger happy drunk officer ...

Simply because they don’t know the driving rules.
