Thanks for proving my point. Those people aren't real drivers. They're dickheads who happen to have a drivers license.
Coming West out of Portland the other day, just exiting the 26 tunnel. It is an extended uphill climb with a gentle "S". Because it is uphill even if you're behind a Big Stupid SUV you can see what is ahead of you. And in the lefthand lane was a parked ambulance with flashing lights. Shit. Time to start getting to the far right lane. Except it is impossible to get to the far right lane. Everyone starts bunching up and slowing down and just when you find an opening, someone from the far right lane moves into it towards the accident (when we got up there there it was a couple parked motorcycles, a car, and a wrecked motorcycle). So you just spend 1/4 mile trying to get out of the stopped lane in an orderly manner but everyone else on the road is oblivious to what is happening more than 8 feet in front of them so you're stuck until you get right on top of the accident and everyone goes "OMIGOD! THERE'S AN ACCIDENT! LET'S ALL LOSE OUR SHIT AND JUST DO COMPLETELY RANDOM THINGS WHILE DRIVING!!!11" The other amusing phenomenon I've observed (I mean apart from people's love of blind spots--shit, they just love to snuggle into them--or just control their speed to keep you stuck in theirs at all costs) is how someone that can drive 70mph with cars RIGHT NEXT TO THEM on 3-4 sides needs to drive 40mph on a freeway if the lane next to them is closed and there are those plastic marker "barrels" in it. They aren't as close to you as the cars that would be in that lane and they aren't even moving! Figure out that you can drive at the same speed.
Not true. You can travel up to 80 mph in a Boston rush hour. As long as you're in the breakdown lane.
