To be fair, I realize it's Bullis, but every time I've seen a cop in
motion where there have been multiple lanes to choose from, he's always
been in the leftmost.

*sigh*

and how are you going to get across the six foot deep grassy depression
(alternately, Jersey barrier) and where are you going to go after that?

Really, I'm certain that everyone else reading this understood what the
issues might be with "turning left on a multi-lane controlled-access
highway" save for you.
