Whenever I drove 280 around the Cupertino area, the left lane was usually 
open, allowing me to pass the cars on the right lanes.  I would usually 
do 80+ MPH, and I wasn't even among the fastest.  And those in front of 
me would quickly move over for me.  For someone like me who lives in 
Seattle, that was a very pleasanat surprise.

Regards,
Dai
