Hi dbussone: Some drivers purposefully use both lanes in an effort to control traffic behind them... not so good. However, on the other hand when there is a traffic jam on a interstate with only one lane open its a good thing when a semi blocks off traffic forcing drivers to alternate and assisting in alleviating the back up. something that should be obvious to drivers but then we do have drivers that believe their "special"and deserve to be first.

Can you imagine some of these folks in self driving vehicles trusting the vehicle to manipulate a round-a-bout
