You're ducking the point. But your 30th percentile driver will get left and stay left too driving the way you do. Then he finds another 30th precentile driver in the right lane and a clump is caused. > A lane change, or _any_ other overt act, carries a possibility of going wrong > and resulting in an accident.

To meet your requirements, everyone must drive the same speed, which I am sure you want to pick, and be spread across all lanes. The only way to maintain road capacity or reduce it as little as possible is cram everyone together tightly. Which will happen anyway when everyone is limited to the same speed naturally. You hate clumps but argue for the kind of driving that creates clumps. May you only encounter drivers like yourself, but slower. This means you'll always be in clumps regardless of which lane you choose. |
