The SlowerTraffic Keep Right
CampaignHeadquarters!
Slower Traffic Keep Right Decals. Printed In Reverse So They Can Read It In Their Rear View Mirrors. Help Us Educate The Slower Drivers. Here, the signs used to say “slower traffic keep right' but that changed probably about 25 years ago to 'keep right unless overtaking”. I remember reading at the time that the change was made because just like the way more than 50% of motorists think they are better drivers than most, and all parents think their sons and daughters are.
while you'restill young enough to remember how to get there? |
Q: Are you foreverbeing annoyed by somebody who thinks the left hand lane is where you'resupposed to drive if your R.V. can only pull that boat, and Yugo at 40mph?
Q: Are you constantlygetting stuck behind some old white cap who should be hauling ass,trying to get there before they die?
Q: Have you eversuspected that the people driving those early 70's smoke barges are allpart of some elaborate group of individuals, compiled from government housingcomplexes, who meet every Tuesday to map out exactly who's going where,so that they can line up across the interstate, covering every possiblelane and all drive side by side at 45mph? Maybe you've noticed the slysmiles they exchange as you bounce back and forth, waiting for a slot justhalf the size of your car, that you can dart through to get pastthem?

The SlowerTraffic Keep Right Campaign!
It is our intention to create some workablesolution to resolve this national problem. Our first thought was to makethe general population aware of the problem. This has so far, failed miserably.First, we had the Department of Public Safety publish this noble idea inall the driving manuals. It came to our attention that not only were peoplenot reading the manuals, but that they were also driving without licenses,and even the ones with a license, were never tested on this important materialto obtain said license.
Then,we set out to further promote public awareness by posting signs all overthe country on the sides of interstates that say 'Slower Traffic Keep Right.'Maybe you've seen some of them in your area? This too, however, has enjoyedonly minimal success in the big picture.

Another common misconception is that this only applies to interstate traffic.IT APPLIES TO ANYWHERE THERE IS MORE THAN ONE LANE!!! And judging fromthis sign (Right) there are some places where people don't even have towait for a two lane road to pass!
Believe it or not, there are people whonot only don't know this, but they also don't use the turn lanes, and getmad when you flash your lights, and bump ever so lightly into their rearbumpers, to gently nudge them into awareness of your intentions to pass.
It is for this reason that we are stillsearching for a practicle solution to this dilema. One thought that hasbeen voiced, is that each driver, with their license, is issued a paintballgun. Then, in the advent that they are stuck behind an inconsiderate driver,they simply shoot the back of the offenders vehicle with a paintball. Then,when the police see a vehicle with at least three different paint splotcheson it, they cite the driver, suspend his/her license (assuming they actuallyhave one) and tow their car.

We believe that this could help to decreasethe problem in a short time, and at the same time, assist the police inlocating drivers who are not intelligent enough to operate a two ton deadlyweapon without direct supervision.
