I regularly trust that other drivers travel that route more often and have a better sense of what they're doing. Everyone's getting in the left lane? Yeah, that's probably where I want to go too. There's an intersection where it's going from 2 lanes to 3 lanes in the middle of the intersection with no markings? Sure, wherever you think our lane is going sounds good to me.

What's hilarious is that this actually works most of the time in Pittsburgh.

When I moved to Virginia Beach previously, I saw people unevenly stack into lanes at a stop light (7 cars in left lane, 1 car in right lane, no major turns for the next 2 miles) regularly for no reason at all, and I had to get out of this habit.

i think this is how most of pittsburgh drives and it’s the reason for half the traffic in the city.

so many times there’s 15 cars piled up in the left lane because one person is waiting to turn but everyone completely refuses to pass them in the completely empty right lane
