But he's suppose to be aware of other participants in traffic and not bother-annoy them. What's he doing in left-side lane driving so slow when right-side lane is empty. How can I show him that I have intention to pass unless I flash or use horn to him?You know what annoys me more than people staying in the left-side lane, regardless of no cars in the inner-lane? People that flashes without any reason. If the sign says 130km/h - it means you MAY and CAN drive at that speed, not that you should.
Chill the F down, don't flash people, because if you do, they might just think you're a morron and slow down to annoy YOU, because you annoy THEM.

Obviously i can not speak for the trafficrules in Serbia, but i won't be surprised if they corresponds to the common rules of traffic in Denmark..I will counter to say what does the impeding driver know about what is the reason to vacate the lane? Or even care?
Very nice to state that the speed limit is thus and so, but what if there is some urgency to the other traveler for reasons not obvious to the impeding driver?
Any number of reasons come to mind. Medical emergency comes to mind first.
I thought rule of the road is not to obstruct your fellow travelers.

Never heard about 1000 meter rule. When I was in driving school and being a candidate on a truck for a C category driver,my instructor teaches me that I must see car I overtake in my right side rearview mirror and judge the distance from it and then turn to right side lane. For cars is the same rule (no any specific meter rule that I am aware of ) except in car you have inside rearview mirror and right side mirror and we must turn back into right side lane after overtaking in shortest time as possible. I was in no hurry but he was driving under the speed limit and occupy right side lane for no specific reason. The left side lane here exist for only one reason,which is to overtake a slower vehicles (trucks,buses, and drivers which just drive slow in any reason ) so he had to move to right side lane even sooner in this case ( immediately after exiting tunnel,just because its free of vehicles or to increase his speed and stop obstructing traffic), I was driving,maybe,little over a speed limit bit that doesnt mean I was maniac, or some road rage driver. If he wasnt annoying me with his slow driving in the wrong lane I would flashing or honking to him. Imagine he was driving on the freeway in left lane slow like this and not turning right back in right side lane,its the same situation. If his driving a slower old vehicle and cant overtake fast I wouldnt flashing him at all,but he showed me that he can drive much faster (even faster than I ), and beside that he's driving slow for some reason.Obviously i can not speak for the trafficrules in Serbia, but i won't be surprised if they corresponds to the common rules of traffic in Denmark..
If you're are in an emergency and have to travel faster than the legal max road speed, there's certain rules you have to obey to do so.
In Denmark, we have the option to do so, IF and WHEN life(s) are at risc, woman going into labor or even gunshots, yeah... you name it.
However, one does not get to ride as craaaaazy as they wan't just because the want to.
We need to inform the police or Emergency Response Central at first, giving instructions on what route to take, destination and the cars numberplate.
Then we need to SIGNAL to all other trafficants that this is an emergency and that's done by a white piece of cloth on your mirror or out the side window and your emergency lights / hazard lights blinking on throughout the entire drive.
For normal driving purposes actually, in Denmark, we have what's called a "1000 meter rule".
It means that if you choose to overtake the car in the rightside lane, you have to do so within a 1000 meter distance. Most people are unaware of this rule of law, but nonetheless it's valid and police can ticket you for not turning into the rightside lane after overtaking, when the distance goes beyond the 1000 meters.
Yes, he stays on the left side for some time, but nonetheless does make a lane-switch and even indicates it.
So, please tell me again, is the lives of other people meaningless to you, because you need to go faster and can't even bother to wait for a second or 2, for the person in front to get into the rightside lane?

Interesting how ignorant people are and by all means, decides that they are supposed to drive as if their lives depended on it..I believe your original post had nothing concerning 'waiting for a second or two for the person in front to get into the rightside lane?'.
Interesting that that you now decide to qualify your previous comment with your version of legalities.

Maybe you could try those things WITHOUT threatening to drive into the back of him? Especially in the rain on a not particularly safe road.How can I show him that I have intention to pass unless I flash or use horn to him?
Luckily I wasnt driving in Denmark,because if flashing like this I would be breaking law.Interesting how ignorant people are and by all means, decides that they are supposed to drive as if their lives depended on it..
Well, let's take this example of "flashing other cars to move over" to the decimals, then...
Flashing your headlights in Denmark is illegal for several reasons. Like honking...
It should ONLY be used to indicate and make awareness of and to other drivers or people in immediate danger of something. Like a man walking out into traffic etc.
It's not a purpose of showing that you wan't to "get by, and now i have to move over" - compare that to a sticker "Move OVER >>>> " on your windscreen in inverse writing, for the one infront of you to see in their rear view mirror.
I'm not aware of the road rules i Michigan, however, in Germany this habbit of flashing your lights on the freeway (without any speedlimits) is perfectly legal, if it's done in the furthest out lane, and the lanes to the right are not occupied by traffic. If they are, you'd have to wait - and slow down.
Really this comes down to logic.
Did an emergency arise, or did you just have to pass, because you had to pass?
I dont agree with you. Its not my road...OK, but also not his either. I don't think I have any priority over anyone else.Maybe you could try those things WITHOUT threatening to drive into the back of him? Especially in the rain on a not particularly safe road.
So he was a bit slow pulling over. And slow doing the overtake too. So what? It isn't a race track, you should show at least some patience.
Maybe he tried a dick move afterwards, and was thwarted by the car that joined from the slip road. But I think you were at fault first. It's not your road. You don't have priority over everyone else.
You started flashing maybe two seconds after it was safe for him to pull over. Is being obstructed that long really such a hardship?
First he stays in faster lane and block me to overtake him and drive slow and then when I was overtaking him,he increase his speed only to show me that he can go faster doing that he was showing me something with his hands and even open his window when he was paralel with me to argue or something. Pure nutcase IMHO.
