    Because the safest thing for everyone is to drive predictably, and that means following the rules and you don’t pass in the right lane.

      you don’t pass in the right lane

      Unless you’re in Houston, where you often get passed on the right even when you’re in the right-most lane.

      Being able to drive safely also means being able to prioritize. It’s not to anyone’s benefit to be so blinded by the rules that you’d drive into a brick wall if one appeared in the road.

      Spineless drivers are nearly as dangerous as arrogant drivers.

          Definitely not true. I drove a cab for 12 years, it went great. I don’t tailgate, I don’t get in people’s way, and I don’t drive like a feckless confused imbicile.
