The virtue of randomness

Personally speaking, randomness forms a big part of me. So there is a natural liking, though I have always considered organized behavior as a true virtue. Its something I am not, but want to be. Anyways getting back to the subject.
I had a Mysore trip a few days. Another of the random shots that we pulled off on a saturday afternoon. Me and a friend decided to go Mysore on bike. Since I had already been there on the bike only a couple of days back and knew that the highway is a 4-lane beauty, we decided to hit the road. So the two of us on our respective bikes, zoomed towards Mysore. This was when the devil's workshop (my idle brain) set into motion.
I just observed the traffic and the human behavior of slowing down or zooming up just to avoid traffic. Actually, I myself was doing the same to stay clear of traffic and enjoy my drive. This as one may argue builds up randomness in the traffic system of the highway. And as we compare this to the largely dumb networks that we create on the name of information superhighways we can estimate the dumbness of the internet. Actually the networks that we usually create are fairly deterministic. This leaves very less room for randomness. As a result there are scenarios where they get clogged up.Well I must say that it was the randomness that saved as a lot of trouble. There were scenes when two buses or trucks would be driving side by side leaving no room for anyone to overtake. This used to be painful as their typical speed is 40 or 50 Kmph. But I must bless the inherent randomness of traffic that they would part their proximity and let others overtake them.
There are several factors here that may be said to be playing a role here, like human common sense or goodwill, but it ultimately leads to randomness in the system in a sense that all of the people on the road are not taking the same decision of speeding up or slowing down at the same time.
I must say that it saved us some time & a lot of frustration.
