Ugh my buddy used to do shit like this when we were younger, he'd get us on the highway and the immediately start doing 80 in the fast lane. No buddy we are not racing your base model honda civic against my base model chevy prism.

    *Passing lane

    on a two or four lane highway, sure. on anything six lanes or larger, there definitely is.

    Anything above 3 lanes is no longer a highway, it's a mental illness

    Y'all realize they count all the lanes, not just the ones going one direction right? A 3 lane highway is 1 lane each direction and a suicide lane.

    I guess technically it can be a 2+1 highway if you so will, but true.

    Still, anything above 4 lanes is dangerously close to mental illness territory

    I'm not sure what the implication here is to be honest - am I supposed to be the small town man in this scenario?

    yes. calling more than two lanes each direction being "mental illness" screams "i have never been in a crowd"

    If there is that much traffic there should be a train line instead.

    While I agree in general, there's still the last bit from the station to home. I can only get a hundred pounds of kitty litter on my trike. If I need to haul more, I need an (hopefully electric) automobile. I just finished buying everything for a project I've been designing for a few years. If I had taken public transit, it would have taken 3 or 4 trips.

    No, there is only one regular lane in each direction. And if you want to pass you take the second land. The third lane is to pass someone who is passing someone. The forth lane is to pass someone who is passing someone who is passing someone. And so further.

    If there are six lanes, the sixt lane is to pass someone who is passing someone who is passing someone who is passing someone who is passing someone who is driving in the regular lane.

    The speed does not matter.
