Default The Left Lane is For Passing

My trademark request seems to have been lost along with Lois Lerner's emails.




For those of you who can't read backwards:

You should just put a middle finger there instead.

I agree with the message, do not agree with the delivery method.

The "middle finger" would be considered rude...I'm all about education. We speed 10's of millions here in FL to put up digital signs on the interstate to tell people to use their seat belts...something they already know...why not this message?

How much do we spend on PSA's that say: "This is your brain on drugs"? I there any chance that had ANY effect? Why not educated drivers so we don't speed Billions on adding a third lane to the interstate that will still be blocked by Prius'?

So true, here in Texas we have signs that say left lane is for passing, but most of the drivers here can't read (English) or just don't care. In some parts of the state driving there while not going at least 80 is an invite to be shot. Kidding. Does seem out of place on the windshield though. Although most of the drivers would be in a fix trying to figure out how the letters appeared in the proper order in their mirror.

I think it's a softer message because it's on the window all the time and not necessarily directed at an individual. It's also educational when observed by someone not on the interstate in general traffic. Nobody has flipped me off yet...but it's early.

For some reason down here in Florida it doesn't apply. Plus the Florida drivers don't need no stinking turn signals....they use "mental telepathy"!!!! When I lived up in PA the "staties" would ticket you in a heartbeat. Of course they needed the revenue, but, it made sense too.

Take a ride on the NJ Turnpike sometime and see all the cars with New York plates hugging the passing lane like they own it. Dangerous - making people pass using the middle lane. I've yet to see a NJ State Trooper stop anyone, regardless of their state of origin, for riding along in the passing lane when the middle lane is available.

im used to seeing that on redneck driven pickups and old transams here in ga, around atlanta where you need to drive around 80 or be run over (and i usually drive around 79 or so)

so you're in more or less heavy traffic going around 79 or so (in 55 mph interstate areas) passing traffic on your right (so you are in the correct lane) and some azzklown driving a smoky-and-the-bandit transam or similar rushes up behind you, gets about 3 inches off your bumper and you look in the rear view mirror and see that or 'slower traffic keep right' up on their windshield.

azzklowns always gotta advertise i guess.

and btw, i consider myself a 'redneck' so it aint like im condescending on my subspecies.

i would no more put something like that on my car than i would a obama-biden sticker alongside a 'rainbow' sticker.....
