Speeding won't solve L.A.'s traffic woes

Imagine if everybody on the road would just get out of your way, there wouldn't be any congestion -- at least not for you. I have received a long stream of e-mails over the years from motorists stuck in the clogged arteries of Southern California's highway system, who complain their biggest problem is with people blocking the passing lane. In their view, if all those drivers using the No. 1 (far left) lane of the freeway would just get out of the way, they would be able to go much faster.
