Oh, and as if this isn't the case everywhere else?  I got news for you, buddy,
you probably technically tailgate, too.  If you're going 60, do you really leave
a six car length gap between you and the next car?  I doubt it, because someone
will jump right on in.

Repeated lane changes, done safely, are pretty much risk free.  If you're so
worried about an accident, I have a solution.  Don't drive at all.

If you want to drive the limit, buddy, I suggest that you stay in the second
lane from the right.  If you're worried about merging traffic in the right lane
-- and if you can't handle that, then you shouldn't be on the road in the first
place -- you avoid it there.

It does say slower traffic keep right.  So listen to them.
