This is EXTREMELY dangerous. I dont know where everyone else is from, but in Florida, we have like the 3rd larger population state in the US with tons of crazy traffic and old people.

If you are in the right hand lane:

1. The biggest change to clip a car trying to peek out into the road.
2. Have a bigger chance to get hit by a car that didn't look.
3. People are pulling out all the time onto the roads.
4. In addition people are always stopping abruptly to turn into a business or restaurant.

I always try to be in the left lane on every road because:

1. There is a divided median on most roads protecting you.
2. Cars in the very right lane may chang to the middle lane because of a car stopping to turn.
3. There is no one pulling out from a business.
