Where's the safest spot to drive on a major highway?

Question

I say the fastlane, b/c there's less going on in the way of merges and sudden exit/entrances. My wife says the slower lanes, b/c well..it's slower. We're driving from Atl. to Philly next month with our 2 month old baby girl, so which lane do I stay in?

Answer 1

You drive in the one with less trucks and less troublesome drivers. In an area with a lot of merges and exits, stay left. If you are out in the country, stay right. Middle is always best if you have the option because then you have two avenues of escape, not just one.

Answer 2

The lane with the least traffic is. Stay out of the right lane and away from trucks.
