I came across what I would consider an ideal driving situation that
would probably upset you to no end if you saw it in the real world.
It was a four lane divided highway, with a stream of cars in the right
lane.  Periodically one of these cars would pull out and pass the
vehicle in front of it then promptly move back to the right lane.  The
left lane was empty except for these passing vehicles.  Exactly the
way it should have been.
