maybe I'm too used to driving on British motorways where overtaking
on the left is fairly rare so you get intot he bad habit of not
checking every time you move from Lane 3 to 2 or 2 to 1



I was once driving from LA to San Francisco using the freeway, with
visitors from the UK on board, and as I approached a joining road, I
saw another car on the on-ramp, so I moved out to the left lane to
give it room. But it not only joined the freeway, but kept on going
into my lane, until application of horn and severe braking woke the
driver up to the fact that other vehicles use the road as well. The
scourge of 'left-lane bandits' is common all over the country.
