This is a lesson I learned a long time ago, as a bicyclist. The yellow paint on the road has magic properties for a whole lot of people. They'd sooner sideswipe a cyclist than mess with that magic.

Back on topic; it would be nice if slow moving vehicles would move over as far as practicable when traffic piles up behind them. It would be nicer still if that became so commonplace that people came to expect it, knew how and when to do it, and knew how and when to respond to it (by passing ahead of the slower vehicle).

Hey, a guy can dream.
