It's hard to explain, but there are some intersections on the way to my work where there is technically only 1 lane of traffic going in the direction I'm traveling. However, you can fit 2 lanes of cars IF the cars furthest to the right ride almost entirely in the breakdown lane. EVERYBODY (usually 30 cars or so) gets all the way to the right, approaching this intersection leaving the entire legal lane of traffic completely empty. They do this because up ahead they usually see 1 or 2 cars with their left turn signals on waiting at the light. Normally, getting to the right to pass people turning left would be a good idea in this situation, but this light ALWAYS has a green left arrow that lights up with our regular green. Our side of the intersection is always allowed to go first while oncoming traffic has to wait about 30 seconds. This always leaves plenty of time for everybody turning left to go. Knowing this, I always pass these stopped jackasses to my right who are practically on the sidewalk. I do this without ever having my left wheel cross the double lines. I can never figure out why people get into a quarter mile queue of cars in the breakdown lane completely stopped while the lane you're legally allowed to travel in is left completely empty.

One guy was so absolutely pissed that I got ahead of him in traffic doing this (simply getting ahead of someone in traffic no matter how legal it is, really pisses people off) that he tailgated me for several miles just pounding the steering wheel and nearly having a stroke. In a remarkable streak of luck, there was construction up ahead with loose gravel. At the next light while I was stopped I managed to gun the engine, spin the tires, and throw rocks all over his windshield. Fuck that asshole.
