CAMAS, Wash. – Among the things you can't avoid in life – death, taxes and the slow driver in the fast lane.
Oh, you can try passing them in the HOV lane, but if you’re driving solo, the State Patrol will likely make you pay for it. You can tailgate, but risk getting into a wreck. You can honk or give the one finger salute, but then you're dealing with potential road rage.
Now a Camas man has come up with a passive-aggressive way to make those slow drivers in the passing lane move over, and it's apparently working.
J.A. Tosti came up with the idea of putting a thin vinyl strip on the top of the windshield with an arrow pointing to the right lane that literally tells drivers to "Move Over."
The words are spelled backwards on the sticker, so a driver looking in their rearview mirror will see it spelled correctly – similar to how emergency vehicles spell out "ambulance" backwards on the hood.

No, in fact I am normally a very curteous driver who has never had to have somebody behind me flicker their headlights to get me to move over. But there is something in me that when I see signs like that, make me want to make life as miserable for that person as possible. Call me cruel, but there it is.
“I don’t have a problem with slow traffic keeping to the right, but should the left lane be for speeders only?”
Yes. If you are in the left lane and not doing AT LEAST 5 miles an hour over the limit, just get over because you are only pissing people off for no good reason.
Hey bud, trainwreck over here. Gas up the Avant.
“If cars are passing you on your right...
you’re in the wrong effin’ lane.”
Damn tootin’.
So speed limits don’t apply in the left lane? Really?
Ever successfully convinced a cop or a judge of that?
YES!
If you had only posted that before Father’s Day!
Oddly enough, the pic in post 4 is a Subaru.
A very fast Subaru.
Georgia law says specifically “under prevailing conditions” because we all speed. Just a fact of life. And they will ticket here. Snowbirds beware.
Keep the washer fluid topped off. Once you finally get in front of the a$$hole, empty it. Works best on convertibles.
Yeah, the left lane issue is one thing....
But someone with a sticker like that is pretty darn arrogant.
Its rude to hold people up in the left lane, but ain’t nobody with a sticker gonna tell me to do a damn thing.
They are for ugly little things (just my opinion of course as they have legions of fans). Ran into one that wanted to play the other day (Me=LT1 Camaro). We were matched so well we could not do anything to each other. It was cool.
And don’t get me started with those “Baby On Board” signs.
Washer fluid?
i usually spit backer juice out the window. :)
And around here the "educator" specialty plates. The apple insures an incompetent driver. They really are the worst.

Doing so is a violation of law in 49 states. FYI.
That's a stupid statement. Ever hear of a Subaru WRX, an STI? No?
I drive a WRX wagon. I guarantee you I drive faster (and better) than 90% of the drones out there.
