I'm a southern California resident.  That statement is simply not true.  In fact, I
have found myself able to go faster while staying on the right with lesser lane
changes.

Rahu's assertions are simply false.  Also, we have six lanes in some of our freeways.
That's plenty but I see the right two lanes almost barren at times.

If lane discipline was properly adhered to here, I wouldn't have to pass cars on the
right.
