Even the snow plows can't leave both lanes sparkling clean, and when NO plow has gone through the street yet the left lane is the most traveled lane so there are tire tracks you can follow and more of the snow has melted.
Often times there's so much snow still on the right half of the right lane you have no choice but to drive in between the two lanes. There is no right/left lane in this case, but just one lane.
Wtf would you want to drive in the right lane with all the snow?
Of all times to be a patient and forgiving driver, this is it you douchebag.

I do not wish to pay more taxes to clear snow a couple days a year. People can deal with it for a few hours until it melts, or grab a shovel. | Welcome to Lotusland... where people find reasons to complain about anything and everything.  | |
