Left Lane Drivers of America – Please don’t put this MOVE OVER decal on your car.
in Automobiles
After receiving an email yesterday from Left Lane Drivers of America regarding this grassroots effort to reclaim the Left Lanes on our freeways and multiple lane highways, it got me to thinking about it.
We’ve all seen it before and have heard the stories countless times, someone is driving to work or on there way home from one place or another and you are traveling along in the left lane passing a couple of cars and there is, a slow car just barely doing the speed limit and you are either boxed in or are forced to move into the right lane to make the pass and continue on your way or even worse, you witness it, a faster car coming up upon a slower car and instead of either car moving into the right lane, the faster car leans on the horn and has the middle finger out the window and you just got to wonder what will happen next and most of time the faster car will have to move over to pass with a gester out the window and flies past and thank god that’s all.
Now imagine if you have this MOVE OVER decal on your windshield and you are traveling in the left lane and come upon a slower car and that driver sees that in there rearview mirror, what is going to be there reaction?
Most likely one of two things, that driver could yield and move over and let you pass or just don’t care and your forced to move over, nothing big really, well, how about the third option, the driver in front snaps and you become the victim of road rage, you see it on the evening news, someone gets cut off or looks at someone the wrong way and the next thing you know, that other person has a weapon and someone is seriously hurt or even worse, that could happen with this decal too.
Bottom Line, I like the efforts put forth here on clearing the left lanes “fast lane” of slower cars to ease traffic and move thing along, we as drivers should move back into the right lane when we are either done passing or are just cruising along, but take my advice, word of mouth is a good thing in spreading the word about this, but this decal is not the way to do it, the experience could be good or it could be down right serious or even deadly, I’m not taking the chance and nether should anyone else.

Would you like to see this decal in your rearview mirror, when you are moving along? See Yeah!
