You may get ahead now and then, but over time, you will always be limited to what the overall speed of the traffic is.

My years of driving experience since then bears that out.

You see some yahoo jockeying from one lane to another, often dangerously, then end up sitting next to the same guy at a stop light down the road a peace.
