I know both sides of the coin. I also know Chapter 20 of NCGS, and what you're doing is dangerous and illegal. When a driver is approaching an intersection at speed, sees the light is green, cuts into the wide-open number two lane to get around all that traffic that's not moving in the number one lane, and takes out about four of you, you'll have no one but yourselves to blame. You lead (and teach) by example, and you are providing a rotten example! Stop breaking the same laws you want others to obey.
