Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

This will vary wildly by jurisdiction, road design and specific circumstances. Is the right lane an exit lane only? Is the right lane currently occupied by a stopped/disabled vehicle on the shoulder? Are there parked cars, cyclists and/or pedestrians near the right lane making the middle lane safer for you to occupy? Are there other road conditions that currently make the right lane less safe to drive on, such as better snow plowing in the left lanes?
Honestly the bigger problem is this insistance on going fast. Going 5-10mph faster or slower will make no noticable difference in your driving time because of all of the time you will spend slowing, stopping and speeding up. I should know, I've biked and driven the same city routes and confirmed no realistic difference in commute time, and I've driven hour+ long highway commutes and tested this. The only thing going faster does is increase fuel consumption noticably (an extra gallon or more per hour was what my experiments found) and increase the risk of a ticket and/or a severe traffic collision
Speeding is bad for you, bad for the environment and bad for other drivers. Literally nobody benefits from it, not even the speeders
