Right now, we can't even get people to stay in the right fricking lane at the best of times, never mind have them do it on a superhighway that requires everyone to be on top of their game at all times.

Maybe I'm a bad driver, but the "stay in the right lane" thing has always boggled my mind. Take for example me driving along at 110km/hr on Deerfoot. People in the right lane are presumably going 90-100km/hr. I'm not constantly pulling into/out of the right lane because someone else wants to rip along at 125km/hr.
