I too try to stay in the outside lane until it’s time to exit left but this time I was driving in it...probably because of the dump truck and pick-it following him on the right. Too bad one has to be worried about what is essentially going straight? When you’re on a highway you don’t worry that someone in the right lane will turn left in front of you.....why is it such a problem here?
