Passing on a freeway into a faster lane
As a group, it can be difficult to pass a slow moving car on any road
with two or more lanes of same-direction traffic. This is especially
true with moderate to heavy traffic. Often there is not enough room
for the entire group to get between cars in the faster lane.
The way to accomplish this is for the last bike to pull over one lane
to the left and hold his position. Each rider should move to the left
lane as the cars in front of the rear biker pass them. You can then
pass the slow car as a group after the lead rider moves to the left
lane.
The lead rider should move back to the right lane after passing the
slow car by a safe distance. It is very important that the lead rider
maintain speed to make room for all the other riders. Each rider should
move back to the right lane one at a time once safely cleared the slow
car. This can be a real slick choreographed move for other motorists
to observe.
