Only if you first remove all the left entry and exits!!!  And somehow
mandate that people *will* let you move over to the left to pass or to
exit or to let someone else merge.

I feel no particular compunction about passing a left lane hog on the
right, although I am cautious when I do it.  It may not be exactly the
best thing to do, but I fail to see why I should get all upset and try
to make someone move over so I can pass him on the left.  Chill out.
