CAMAS, WA - JUNE 12, 2007 - Enough with slow drivers in the left lane!
"As traffic gets increasingly congested, it´s time for citizens to
reclaim the left lane," says J.A. Tosti, spokesman for Left Lane
Drivers of America, a grassroots effort to get slower traffic to move
right. "More and more these days, you find slow drivers in the left
lane, causing no end of headache and frustration to those of us who
have places to go and people to see. Some of these offenders are timid
and tentative, some are completely oblivious to what´s going on around
them, and some are self-appointed ´hall monitors´ regulating what they
alone have determined to be proper driving speeds. Whatever be the
case, it´s time for us raise the awareness level and trumpet the
message, ´If you´re not a Left Lane Driver, get out of the left
lane!´"
In order to actually help slower drivers get the point, Left Lane
Drivers of America offers copyrighted windshield decals which boldly
and prominently display their unified sentiment in the offending
driver´s rear-view mirror. The decal, which reads "MOVE OVER" also has
a large arrow showing them where to go. The words and arrow display
backwards on the windshield so that they read properly when seen in
the mirror (go to www.leftlanedrivers.org to see picture). According
to Tosti, "Although the sign minces no words, the idea here is not to
be rude or pushy but to offer slow drivers a gentle prod, reminding
them of the need to either pick up the pace or make room for those who
choose to drive a bit faster."
In fact, slow drivers do need to move over. In many states, the left
lane is supposed to be the passing lane and slower drivers can be
cited for obstructing traffic. Those who stake out permanent positions
for themselves in the left lane tend to provoke those wanting to drive
faster, often giving them no other choice but the dangerous strategy
of passing on the right in order to get ahead. Slow drivers can easily
become slow moving safety hazards.
Bottom Line: Moving over is a matter of courtesy. It is a matter of
safety. It is a matter of doing one's part to help traffic flow
smoothly. And it is the law in many states: "Stay to the right except
to pass". Left Lane Drivers of America is doing something positive to
help improve traffic flow on today´s overcrowded, pressure- packed
freeways. Their "Move Over" message has the potential of helping
reduce instances of road rage, hazardous driving and untimely, often
deadly accidents.
