LEFT LANE DRIVERS of AMERICA

“If you’re not a Left Lane Driver then get out of the Left Lane!”

Traffic has become increasingly congested and tempers flare as slower drivers occupy what has been historically referred to as the “fast lane”. It’s time to get that Left Lane back! It is our considered opinion that not only will traffic move more smoothly and more quickly once the Left Lane is used in the way it has been designed but also headaches, frustration, bad tempers and road rage will all be greatly reduced when this pressure valve is released. It’s time to reduce this unnecessary stress. It’s time that… LEFT LANE DRIVERS UNITE!

We invite you to join Left Lane Drivers of America, a growing, grassroots effort to reclaim the Left Lanes on our freeways and multiple lane highways. To do this, those of us who are genuine “Left Lane drivers” are politely but firmly reminding others what the Left Lane is for.

Yes...

This is a great idea.

I AM a fast lane driver who drives FAST.

Nothing is more frustrating than a Mr. Magoo driving in the fast lane.

Get rid of HOV lanes so the people can travel on the roads they paid for with their piece of the taxes they pay.

This is what the decal looks like when you look at at straight on...

You should only be a left-lane PASSER. Not a left-lane driver.

Unless and until this becomes law, rather than a recommendation, and drivers are ticketed for slowing down the Fast Lane, the practice will continue unabated.

Drivers are free to ignore "recommendations".

Now here is how the decal looks in the rearview mirror of a slow driver in the fast lane...

How about two Mr. Magoos driving side-by-side right in front of you, and neither will speed up, fall back or move over?

[Teacher317]

I am just passing... I just happen to be passing everyone all at once for the entire length of my trip on that highway!

(recent $150 ticket can attest to that!)

[dashing doofus]

Placing that sticker on your front windshield is a dumb idea.

[RightWhale]

Trying to give Conservatives a bad name? It is about time gasoline costs what it is worth true value. Somebody doing 65 or more in a $30,000 or more vehicle shouldn’t even think about the price of gasoline until it gets to $10 a quart.

[BJClinton]

Of course. I just pass the entire half hour commute.

[T.Smith]

If you make driving in the left lane a ticketable offense, who should you ticket; the guy driving the speed limit in the left lane, or the guy going 10 miles over trying to get around him?

I say ticket the slower guy, but I doubt that would hold up.

[Cicero]

Traffic movement on multi-lane highways during rush hour appears to be essential brownian.

If you want to free up the left lane, first you need to repeal the laws of physics.

[tcostell]

In New Jersey, it is the law. The left lane is for passing only, and it still doesn’t stop anyone. (It’s the one and only state law that I actually approve of)

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Utah is full of people who think that they’re doing a public service by going 5 or 10 MPH below the speed limit in the far left lane. (I call them leftists.) Drives me nuts. It’s not their job to meter traffic.

I know a goofy lady at work who camps out in the left lane during rush hour, goes exactly the speed limit, and holds up a sign that says, “Speed limit 65 MPH!!” when people pass her on the right (because the normal pace is 75, not 65). This woman is living on borrowed time. I’m not advocating violence here, it is what it is.

That means ‘slam on brakes now.’

[CertainInalienableRights]

Unless and until this becomes law, rather than a recommendation, and drivers are ticketed for slowing down the Fast Lane, the practice will continue unabated.

It is the law in many states. Here in OH, the law is a little vaguely worded, but essentially says that you should be in the rightmost lane available.

However, its a lot easier and lucrative (and probably fun, comparatively) for law enforcement professionals to sit on the side of the road and wait for a speeder to go past that it is to actually get out and enforce the laws that would improve traffic flow.

When I saw the title I thought it was left lane on two lane roads. It would be hard to keep the membership totals up in such a club
