I don't know if it is km/h or mp/h, but it doesn't matter. When I see a speed limit which says 20 and the next says 10 (outside the city), I know it's for a reason...

beep 🖕😘

In fairness, you are supposed to beep when you're passing another car. Whenever I do that, I wonder if the person I'm passing things that I'm doing it as a criticism. It's just a safety thing that I was taught to do. The beep was the only thing that driver did right.

I never beep. They should know when I roll up at 75, and move to their 8 o'clock its going down. Lol

I've never heard a beep either.

Interesting, didn’t know this. In what country did you learn this?

In the US

The 70s, ya whippersnapper.

The only courtesy I see is some drivers will turn their high beams on while I'm passing. Which used to bother me if they have brighter lights then me. At night of course.

Where. I have never heard of this.

 

[hedgerow]

@Grand Mal Caesar @hedgerow
You are not required to honk your horn when passing, however, by doing so the other driver is required to allow you to pass.

This is from Texas statutes TRANSPORTATION CODE CHAPTER 545. OPERATION AND MOVEMENT OF VEHICLES


Sec. 545.053. PASSING TO THE LEFT; RETURN; BEING PASSED. (a) An operator passing another vehicle:

(1) shall pass to the left of the other vehicle at a safe distance; and

(2) may not move back to the right side of the roadway until safely clear of the passed vehicle.

(b) An operator being passed by another vehicle:

(1) shall, on audible signal, move or remain to the right in favor of the passing vehicle; and

(2) may not accelerate until completely passed by the passing vehicle.

(c) Subsection (b) does not apply when passing to the right is permitted.


It's a safety thing and a good practice, except you run the risk of making the other drivers think you're just being a butthole.

Idiot for going that fast over that hill

^ Wow, that's amazing...they don't teach that in NYS. With the no-test driver license transferability between the 50 States, I'd have thought it was uniform throughout the US...good to know.

 

[hedgerow]

i found an old Texas driver manual online, and sure enough, they say beep as you're passing

it's in the same chapter as learning and using hand signals for turns and stops

 

[Tinkle_Star]

Yeah, I never heard of that either…but it was a common thing to flash the high beams a couple of times to let drivers coming the other way that a cop is trying to hide and catch speeders. I don’t drive anymore( due to health and vision issues) so I don’t know if it’s still done now
