Driving to work the other day when it was snowing I saw multiple people hop into the left lane to pass, sit there for 1-3 seconds, then merge right back in where they were. It was funny to watch

Seriously, often the lanes are NOT at all equally safe. You feel like everyone is going too slowly and you want to pass, but that left lane is much more snowy/slushy than the right. Suddenly you're hanging out there needing to speed up quite a bit and pass everyone, but realize that it doesn't feel as safe as it would in the right lane. Pair that with a sweeping right turn and you're suddenly white knuckled, trying not to fly off into the median. Worth it to save a minute or two?
