Simply because it's a 5 lane highway doesn't mean you should use them all as much as possible.
Returning home from an afternoon in town taking care of business, I'm enjoying my drive home for lack of traffic and the fact I'm sitting in my brand new car.
I begin to approach a small maroon Honda in my lane and I begin to decelerate, when the hulking white dodge ram on my right realizes that it is in the exit lane (despite the multiple signs) and rapes its way into my lane, cutting off the poor innocent Honda in front of me. The Honda, in fear of a monster truck rally reenactment slams on her brakes to accommodate the truck; forcing me to swerve into the next lane (thankfully empty) to miss the aforementioned Honda. Thank you, White Dodge Ram(mer), for the opportunity to check my new car's responsiveness. Had you used your signal (before you decided to lay in an intercept course), I probably would have accommodated the space. The Honda might have as well. But to top it off (while taking down your license) I noticed you decided to change lanes again, seemingly at random... Three more times.
There are only so many lanes, and they all go in the same direction, I assure you. Either pick a lane and stick with it, or learn how to use your turn signal properly to give the rest of us fair warning of your chaotic course changes.
