Hey man, how about you just figure out some way to relax on the drive instead of psychotically swerving around people? In order to shave a couple of minutes off your commute, you're putting yourself in mortal danger (and worse: you're endangering innocent people who don't actually deserve to die in a fiery car wreck) Here are some suggestions: 1. Move away 2. Move closer to your job 3. Rob a bank and then retire, since you're risking death every day anyway

If you think going into the right lane is risking death - you shouldn't be on the road. You clearly are not good at risk assessment and should not be trusted with a vehicle.

  Every lane change that anyone makes significantly increases the risk of a crash vs. just staying in the same lane. This is basic driver's ed right here. Passing on the right is illegal most places for a reason: it's harder for the driver to your left to see you. The whole point of the convention of having faster traffic to the left and slower to the right is to increase predictability of behavior. I agree with the parent you're replying to. Chill out and stop weaving in and out of traffic. Yes, it's annoying that people don't move to the right to yield to faster traffic, but ultimately you only save seconds or a small number of minutes. The risk -- assessment of which you seem to be not particularly good at -- isn't worth it. I'm not saying I follow my own advice 100% of the time, but I am under no illusion that I'm being safe when I don't.

    > Every lane change that anyone makes significantly increases the risk of a crash vs. just staying in the same lane. Ah, yeah, that's why you see 10,000 people dying every second from changing lanes out on 101. Get off the roads guys. You're really bad at assessing risk. If you think CHANGING LANES is going to KILL EVERYONE then you are in the same group as flat earthers as far as critical thinking goes. Stick with caltrain if this is how you guys truly feel. Your ideal mode of transport I'm sure. It's only got one track going each direction - can't even change lanes!

      Nobody's complaining about changing lanes. You clearly implied above that you have to weave over to the far right, pass cars on the right, then weave back to the left to pass more cars on the left. That behavior is unacceptable. It might only be a 1/5000 chance of causing an accident, but when hundreds of idiots do it every day, you end up with tens of thousands of car crashes in the Bay Area every year and so many deaths they aren't even newsworthy. I don't like having to duke it out with dangerous idiots like yourself every day on the road, so I rent an apartment a mile from my office.

        Again - you have no sense of risk assessment. Glad you’re not on the road.
