Tolerance for risk is an intereesting thing.  Those who are less willing
to tolerate risk are more likely to live longer.  This is
counterintuitive but it's true.  For people who drive the way you talk,
chances are their insurance premiums are quite high and their life
expectancy is quite low.  No skin off my back.  I'm not planning to
shorten my own life by increasing my risk due to repeatedly changing
lanes just so you can get through.  I find a lane that moves at the
speed I prefer and I stay there, more or less.  You want to weave
through traffic, you do it and leave the safe driver alone, ok?  Why
don't you just drive on the shoulder?  You can have it to yourself.
