On the Road Again

On the Road Again

In Italy, almost every main road is only two lanes in each direction. And drivers stay right, except to pass. Rarely do you have to use your high beams. Everyone realizes that unless you get out of the way of higher speed traffic, the entire highway clogs and it’s dangerous. The system works beautifully.

In the US, where many highways are three to six lanes, people clog up the left-hand (high speed) lane. Some are ignorant of the law, some are oblivious, and some have such inferiority complexes that they have to “prove” they don’t move over for anyone. The result is traffic passing in the slower lanes which creates traffic jams and more dangerous driving.

This is what happens when ignorance, carelessness, or malice get in the way. The same holds true for our work. Go as fast as you safely can, but if someone wants to go faster, get out of their way. Otherwise, no matter what your rationale, you’re just another obstacle on the road.
