When I drive at night on the 101 (or any freeway), I drive in the right lanes. Never the fast lane. Why? Because a potential drunk driver will use the fast lane THINKING he is in the slow lane because he is going in the wrong direction.

Lane markers reflect red if headed in the wrong direction. If you see Red—you’re dead wrong.
