What's wrong with reverse passing exactly? It's safer than regular passing as it requires less distance to slow down than speed up a vehicle, at least in my experience.
Pretty much every thing about it.
It's a weird maneuver. People get into the passing lane to pass. If you get into the passing lane and hit the brakes, you are just asking to confuse the people behind you.
It sends confusing information to the people behind you. If I see the car ahead of me hop out of lane while clearly not in a passing situation, it's usually because there is something hazardous in the road, and I need to dodge it as well, I'd be moving out of lane pretty much the exact moment you started slamming your brakes.
You have less visibility behind you than you do in front, making the maneuver much more dangerous. You might be popping out of lane to do your "Reverse pass" at the exact moment the person behind you, in or a person behind them decides to pass. You could also get stuck in a situation where you go for the "reverse pass" and realize that there is actually more cars behind you than you expected, and now you're stuck going slow in the wrong lane with no way to get back over.
Cars can (almost) always brake faster than they can accelerate. If you need to get back into your original place because it is unsafe to complete the pass, it's a lot easier to slow down to get back to it, than it is to accelerate to get back to it.
Don't "reverse pass". In fact, you really should pull your post or edit it to advise people not to do it. It's illegal, it's dangerous and it will get people hurt or killed. This is not a joke or a shit-post. I'm dead serious.
