A host vehicle consistent with the present disclosure is configured to detect pass events performed by adjacent vehicles. According to some embodiments, adjacent vehicles occupy a lane aligned with (i.e., heading in the same direction as) and immediately next to the host vehicle's lane. Pass events include passed events and passing events. A passed event occurs when the host vehicle is passed by an adjacent vehicle. A passing event occurs when the host vehicle passes an adjacent vehicle. An unusually high number of passed events versus passing events indicate that the host vehicle is impeding traffic. An unusually high number of passing events versus passed events indicate that the host vehicle is traveling excessively fast. A host vehicle consistent with the present disclosure is thus enabled to determine, or at least approximate, when it is impeding traffic and when it is traveling dangerously fast with respect to traffic.
