A major issue with our traffic system is that we are allowed to self-sort ourselves into lanes. The problem occurs because people are clearly deluding themselves about where they belong. In my estimation, on a four-lane highway nearly 75% of people will choose to drive in the left lane, and yet maybe only 25% of people actually possess the speed and skill to deserve the left lane. As a result, the legitimate left-laners are stuck going SLOW AS ASS behind some moron motherfucker who absolutely belongs in the right lane but is too goddamn cocky to recognize that.
I think 'right-lane only' should be a restriction that's listed on a person's drivers license, like corrective lenses. To avoid the restriction and qualify for the left lane, you'd have to be under 65 years old, always drive at least 8 MPH over the speed limit, and (to really narrow the field) be able to parallel park.
