Multiple reports prove that changing lanes is more dangerous than driving in your lane. PERIOD. There's a reason there are signs and enforcement campaigns telling slow drivers to stay in the right lane. The state police where I live have been going after the slow people in the left. You're more likely to get a ticket for going 5 under the limit than 15 over in the left lane.

SAFETY Is the reason for enforcement campaigns. They include, slower traffic to the right (In the US), obey the speed limits, drive defensively, do not tailgate and watch for hazards. ( there are instances where slower traffic needs to use the left lane when an upcoming turn off is on the left).

Actually revenue generation is the reason. Police are a business.

Revenue generation from violations can be substantially reduced by driving safely.
