  Every time I go thru Jersey, it amazes me to see how *everybody*
  immediately gravitates to the leftmost lane, no matter what. I was able to
  do a sustained 80 because the two right lanes on the GSP were empty, while
  the leftmost lane was moving at 60-65.

This is known in quantum mechanics as a "population inversion".
It occurs much more frequently in those states that prohibit
passing on the right.  I try to calmly contemplate this conundrum
while stuck behind such situations in an effort to keep my blood
pressure under redline.
