No wonder Americans can't drive, we can't even type!  When to
opposing cars pull halfway into their respective shoulders to let a
third car overtake one of them, that's 2 => 3 car widths on the road,
i.e. "3 lanes out of 2."  "2 lanes out of 3" is more like what you
get on an American 6-lane freeway when two of the three lanes
travelling in a given direction......"

And goes on to say how bad the drivers are in the states.  Yeah ok so I
screwed up, I usually re-read my posts before sending them but I guess I
missed that one, my bad.  You knew what I meant though.  For real
though, drivers here do reduce the actual amount of lanes on the road by
wandering all over the place, barely comprehending they are piloting a
4500lb suv.  I notice this much more on the bike too.

Cheers,
Zach
