Unless, unfortunately you are in BC where the people in the lane closest to
the yellow lines have right of way over people in the out lanes.  The
traffic signs say "Slower Traffic Keep Right" where the rest of Canada and I
am sure most of the USA it says "Keep Right Except to Pass".  This means for
all the red necks here "I ain't slow" so they stick to the fast lane.  Plus,
you are, shall we call it 'more right' if you get into an accident in the
'fast' lane as opposed to the slow lane according to the laws here.  It is
written here in the beginners driver book to always give way to people
merging by going into the 'fast' lane.  Also when the passing lane comes to
an end, the people in the 'fast' lane have the right of way.... so, everyone
drives in the 'fast' lane.... stupid I know!

Time for my $0.02US.

There are a large number of distractions that can
lead to poor driving.  The problem isn't the
distractions, it's the poor driving.  It's not my
road or your road, it's our road.  Share, get
along, follow the rules and we all get wherever
we're going quickly and safely.

My big beef is people _driving_ in the _passing_
lane ... it's for passing.  Once you're done
passing, go back to a driving lane.  Thanks.
