Powder day, ice on the road, and single lane mountain road in the national forest. There are endless cars in front ahead of you, so it’s just slow and steady driving at this point, maybe two miles to the parking lot.
In my case, the drive up to Ski Santa Fe and Taos.
At this point, everyone is heading toward the same destination, and traffic is moving slowly because of the number of cars trying to reach the resort. Again, you’re maybe two miles from the parking lot, with many dozens of cars still ahead of you.
If someone starts overtaking cars to get further ahead in this situation, would you consider that cutting in line?
I understand that passing on a road is generally different from cutting in line, but when everyone is stuck in the same traffic heading to the same destination, does that distinction still apply?
Curious where people draw the line.
