Absolutely wrong, Rahul. Used as Brandon describes, both lanes would be
in constant use. Everyone could go at their own pace and no-one would
have to wait for some inconsiderate soul blocking the overtaking lane
until a gap opened up in the "wrong" lane. I too have seen such traffic.
It is happy, happy happy and COMPLETELY safe. Won't happen here though!
