If I may ...
At Lowes the other day in the contractor area check out. You know the one with two cashiers at the big roll-up doors? The far left one had a line about five deep, the right side one I got into had a woman waiting at the register. The cashier was absent. Other cashier said she'd be back in a moment. We waited. While at the same time that five deep line went down pretty fast and at the same time added more customers. We waited. Watching the other line move right along. When the cashier returned, there were no original customers in the other line and maybe three to four extra customers already rung out. Chatted with the woman in front of me asking why do we, people, wait in a line while other lines are moving along quite smartly. Why don't we change lanes? Jokingly, I said maybe it's because we wanted to complain to the cashier of the long wait we had to endure? It's not like we had a huge cart of lumber. I had two items in my push cart and she one item of wood. Is there a psychology in human nature that explain this? Maybe because I wasn't in a rush I didn't move to the other lane? Upon reflection, maybe it was like an experiment, to stand there and count the number of other customers taken care of before our line was. Never did complain.
But about that Dunkirk traffic. Was in the left lane waiting one day, and down in the dip, a car was passing, not speeding, all to get to the front in the right lane, when, as luck would have it, an unmarked police car pulled sharply out of the left lane and commenced to pull that car over. Well, all the other following cars behind the pulled over fellow started to quickly get into the left lane. Seemed that officer was a little upset that while he was waiting as the rest of us were, others were failing to follow the signage. But that action, for that moment, for those present, reinforced good and proper rules of the road.
