Seattle Times' Columnist Ron Judd about the slow drivers in the left lane...

I love this article and it should be copied and issued as a supplement to the owners manual for every new Prius sold in WA and OR...

If they vigilantly enforced this the way they do speeding... problem solved.

 

Unfortunately the left lane hogs will never see an article like this, because the vast majority of them are illiterate. The few that do read never get beyond the comics page...

 

thank you... thought I was going crazy... there are some things I miss about NJ... people who know how to DRIVE! :-)

 

The comments to the article really make my blood boil, no doubt Seattle is full of moronic self righteous idiots who won't take their heads out of their asses to see the light... The whole notion of trying to enforce other's people's speeds is ridiculous!

 

Ohh if ican get a dime for every slow bastard in the left lane...i'll be driving custom veyron

 

The information in this article should be a test before you get on the freeway.

A very fast and efficient test though.

 

HuH? What's that you're talking about, Larry? I can't understand anything you're saying.

But seriously aside, this article unfortunately points out the sad truth of how things are for us Washington drivers.

 

i should have just taken your word for it...

now i have road rage and i didn't even leave the office yet...

 

Did you see the follow up ?

Very nice, but until I see some sort of concrete program against this problem I won't believe anything is being done.

 

Well it is a start. Putting to text what I have experianced for years.

 

It'd be nice if we could proclaim "I keep right unless I'm passing" while on the freeway so we can identify other people who can drive and acknowledge each other, by setting the example we can change this mentality of "People just want the left lane free so they can speed" into "People want traffic to keep right to improve the flow of our highways".

 

Good Luck. This state is full of Prius driving eco *******.
