    because I obey the laws

    flashes of lights from the distance, I pull to the right

    Doesn’t sound like you were obeying the Rechtsfahrgebot.

      Of course, you are right, but …

      if you are driving fast and don’t want to constantly switch lanes imo it is ok to drive in the left lane while constantly checking if there is someone behind you for whom you need switch to the right lane (yeah, yeah, still illegal).

        No it’s not okay, sorry. Switching lanes is what you do when overtaking, there is no way around it regardless of speed. And on the Autobahn, your attention is supposed to be directed ahead. Waiting to switch lanes once traffic approaches from behind is not a reliable strategy. Please keep right.

            If you’re continuously overtaking it’s okay. But far too many drivers stay left regardless how much space there is in the right lane, and that’s a problem.

            I’m not sure what you mean by buffer zone.

      Maybe they were just passing a truck?

      Or is it the arschlochpflicht that forces germans to write this type of comments?
