Every time someone says "I don't believe in theories" another theory
dies. It's a beautiful theory, and it might work in a world where the
highway designer don't put entrances and exits on the left.

PKB. Tailgating the car in front of you, waiting for it to move to the
right, then tailgating the next car and so on for twenty cars is the
dangerous behavior. Oh, yes, some of the vehicles doing that are doing
it in lanes that they are prohibited from using in the first place.
