What is safer than weaving through traffic?

Stay in one lane as much as possible.

  1. Follow the fastest car
  2. Stay in one lane ✔
  3. Change lanes at every gap

Why: Frequent lane changes create more chances for a vehicle to be hidden or misjudge your path. Choose a suitable lane and stay predictable.

Huh, didn't know that: Last-minute direction changes give other drivers less time to react.

The dad joke
The car stopped weaving because it had already finished its road quilt.
