Which highway lane has the most accidents?

The majority of accidents on three-lane highways involve the right lane. Because cars are merging, accelerating, and slowing down frequently, this lane presents the highest risk of an accident. When people driving in the right lane lose focus or fail to check blind spots, accidents frequently occur.
