Chill out Soozie. I don't think there's a fatality risk here, or even serious injury. Everyone is going in generally the same direction.
But I do agree with you on the fairness issue. If one rider slides into another's lane and slows him or wrecks him, it will give the third rider an unfair advantage.

I think this is a fatality waiting to happen!
I don't agree that 3 lanes so close could be fair.
I shudder to think when my son will be on this hiway to hell
Am I over-reacting?!
