My hypothesis is that the problem becomes worse by at least a few other's impatience and greed. There might be some educated individuals on the road who try their best to do what's said to lead to better traffic conditions, but its the few that ruin it in the end. A tragedy of the commons.

If all drivers properly sorted themselves by desired speed from left to right we'd have much more efficient highways. I'd also make the argument that the people who stubbornly don't get out of the way of tailgaters are at fault for creating slow road conditions, and share the blame for a dangerous driving situation. If someone behind you wants to go faster, get the fuck out of the way. And it's not even my preference-- in WA and OR it's literally the law that slower traffic should move right, but I've never heard of anyone being ticketed for it.
- vectorjohn 11y agoHey, if you're being tailgated you're by definition not slower traffic. Dumb people tailing and trying to go that extra 5mph are as much to blame for the danger as the people that don't get out of the way. And since they will be constantly forcing people to switch lanes, the outcome is the same except some idiot got their way. So no.
