He was needlessly blocking traffic by driving at half the posted speed
limit in the left lane. You see nothing wrong with that? Oh, wait - I
forgot who I was talking to.

No, he could have changed lanes just as I did.

The Sloth Coaster was in the left lane the entire time, as was the
Dreamer's Durango. And, since I was moving twice as fast as he was
(once I escaped his rolling roadblock), he could have changed lanes
behind me. For whatever reason he was too witless to do so.
