Ever want to get around that slow-poke in front of you? Do you typically pass a lot on the road or are you content to stay behind a car once you get to your preferred lane? This article investigates the physics behind changing lanes. Does it really help to change lanes a lot? What happens to your overall speed when you change lanes? Are most people content to stay put?
As you read this article, I want you to think about the information presented by using the following questions:
1. How often do you change lanes, and why?
2. How will you apply this scientific knowledge to your driving? Will it make any difference?
3. What are other habits that you have that might be changed by learning the science behind them?
