I attended a slot car race yesterday and placed third.
On the way home I came across that same freeway connector overpass in Novato, I've mentioned before. Last time I was in the outer lane of this very long left hand sweeper. This time it was the inside lane. I passed several cars while making my way through. It was as if they all cleared out of left lane.
I merged well with the rest of the 70 MPH traffic on the other end.
