Proof that a few ordinary sloth drivers are worse than any bicyclist could
be even if he was trying.

Blame the city planners. When I saw those roads get built,
I knew that there would be this problem. I live in NORTH
Orange county, which has (with a few exceptions in small
areas that were built in the Model T era) a proper grid of
straight and wide streets. When Portola Parkway is a parking
lot, Orangethorpe and Knott are free-flowing. Just look at a
map and you will see why: Buena Park has a wide N_S and E_W
street every mile or so. Irvine has a huge area feeding
a mass of cars into each street, and not enough streets to
handle the load.

As for sloths, who cares when there are three lanes going each
way, with a fourth left-turn lane and a fifth right turn lane
at every intersection? Just drive around any sloth you see, and
watch as the speeders pass you, all with no conflict *by design*.

Extra lanes only minimally reduce the effect of sloth because sloth
drivers have a nasty habbit of driving next to each other instead of
keeping right. There wouldn't be a problem if they kept right.

Extra lanes have a huge effect. It's a lot harder to get three
slow drivers across than it is to get two. And of course in areas
of the country that have two-lane roads with no passing, it only
takes one.

One would think it would be harder. But it doesn't seem to be anywhere
near as more difficult as one would think.

Really late at night, when there are only 2 or 3 other vehicles on
the same road as I, they will be right next to each other. Sloth attracts
sloth. They have an ability to come together to form a rolling road
block.

I can't say for certain, but it seems that lane discipline is better
when there are only 2 lanes available (per side).

URASICKPERVERT. No normal person finds a souped-up car thrilling. You
pedal-philes are psychopaths.

You're deluded enough to believe *any* of the following, and you call
*us* psychopaths? Kinda new to this thinking process I see.
