If you have been driving on the north-south highway, you will get to be flashed with beam light or be approached closely from a car on your back from time to time especially when you are taking the right lane, even though your speed is already at the maximum allowed speed limit of 110km/h. I have seen few cases where the car being flashed react near-panicly by immediately changing to the left lane to give way to the flashing car. Giving way is something gentleman on the foot, but on highway in such scenario, is it something wise to do?
Everyone has the right to use the highway safely, not to say you have paid for it. And when you are already driving at maximum legal speed (even on the right lane) and being urged by some hasty car behind you, be it a super luxury wagon or sporty car, I think it is not your obligation to give way to it, of course unless it's any emergency response vehicle like ambulance etc. Just take your time as long as you are comfortable with, and definitely until you have found a safe spot to give way to the hasty fellow. But if you are driving a turtle, please do not occupy the right lane unless you are overtaking, ya, the right lane is supposed for overtaking.
Nobody like to be rushed, so if you are someone who used to be the hasty fellow, be polite and gentle even you are on hurry (by the way, why so hurry?). Do not simply flash your beam light to the front car. Just follow it at a safe distance (not too close of course) so as not to give any pressure to the front guy. After a while, he will be aware of you and give you the way you wanted at his comfort. Everyone has equal right. Respect every drivers and the precious lives of every living creature on the road.
May there be no more unwanted casualties on the road...
