Would you put this on your car to prevent left lane bandits?
Good article on some Highway Patrol units beginning to enforce the left lane is for passing only laws......
http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com...zy.aspx?page=1
The article states that there is someone making REVO EVOM stickers for the top of your windshield ---- would you put one on your car? I think that I might if I could take it on and off and only have it on when I am on a long freeway trip.........LLB's drive me nuts!

While I wouldn't put that on my car.....people lollygagging in the passing lane is my #1 pet peeve on the road.

Why bother most of these people that linger in the left lane never use their rear view mirror, or else they might figure out they are holding up traffic. They certainly would not see or pay attention to a sign on your windshield.

No, I would not put such a sticker on my car. I have had to deal with more LLBs than usual lately. My right foot solved those problems.
- but that's why they invented bump drafting 
Now if I just had a retractable large front bumper.

Yeah, I saw that article ths AM. All I can say is "It's about Friggin' time!!!!"
Would I put the sticker on my windshield? No. Would I be willing to use OnStar to notify a LEO of a LLB eastbound at milepost 153? Absolutely!! A few tickets for these mindless inconsiderate mouth-breathers is - well - just the ticket. It's time for the LEO's to enforce ALL the laws.
Now, what would be really a good idea would be to have the speeding camera's also calibrated to bust the LLB's. Another revenue generator that would actually make sense to me in a reverse-logic sort of way. I would just love to sit back and watch the uproar over that! Talk about tickling a black little corner of my heart .....

Lingering in the left lane?? It has been my experience that many people who complain about this are upset with the person in the left lane who is going the speed limit and they want to go much faster. So who is worse, the one that does not move, thereby violating the move over rule, or the one that wants to grossly violate the speed limit??

Usually this isn't a problem though, as I use the passing lane to pass ... not to drive in continually

I think it's fair to say that there are many annoyances on the highway IF you allow them to be. Going slow in the left is only one issue. How about being tailgated in heavy traffic and looking in your rear view mirror seeing a knuckle dragger with this on his windshield?
Road rage is bad enough without displaying signs to heighten the anger.

I posted my statement specifically to expose this kind of thinking. Dawdling at the speed limit? Get out of my way because I want to exceed the speed limit? I have the right to ignore the law but the guy ahead of me does not? It's all about me? This kind of self servering thinking is what is causing our society to deteriorate.
