I love it!!!! Did you know that it is actually against the law in Germany to drive in the left lane on the Autobahn? I think it is against the law here in the backwards state of AR. also. It's called the speeder impeder law or something like that. I don’t know anyone that has gotten that ticket though.

$30 for a decal??? I could make it for less then a buck with my vinyl cutter.

In Washington State, on the super slabs, we have signs posted that say in effect, you can only be in the left while passing, THEN move over. Course, you know the results of that suggestion. BUT, the troopers can ticket you for the infraction if they are of a mind to. $120 or so, if memory serves. I just make sure I pass and pass and pass.......at the posted speed limits, of course.

Folks,

Pay attention closely in most any state in the union and you will see these nice little signs that say "Keep Right Except to Pass" or "Slower Traffic Keep Right".

I believe it is the law in almost all the states as well, but it seems to never be enforced. If this one issue were stressed more during driver education courses our country's traffic problems would be much less than they currently are. I'm not holding my breath though!

Actually.... No, it is pointed in the right direction. Think of it like you are looking in the mirror and you see that coming up behind you.

I don't think it is..pretend you are in the car looking through that mirror. You are sitting on the left hand side of the mirror, and see that in your mirror...it is pointing to the middle lane..I think

"Slower Traffic Keep Right"

To many, that means I'm doing the posted speed limit therefore I do not have to move over.

Here in Calif.we are unable to enforce the existing laws because to do so would violate their "rights".
T-15,when you decide to make a run of the decals I need 2 please,Thanks.

Years ago in Texas the drivers manual advised that if you were at the speed limit you should stay in the left lane. I think it has been changed but as far as I know the is no law saying you must move right. Too many old school dirvers are still here.
