Left Lane Drivers Attack!

Summertime is when America hits the road, and — if you believe some people — it’s also when too many slow drivers clog the fast lane. Well, help is on the way for that beloved character, the Assertive American, according to the cars.com.

Left Lane Drivers of America has taken the lead in this national aggravation, and it wants to keep slower drivers where they belong — on the right-hand side of the road.

“As traffic gets increasingly congested, it’s time for citizens to reclaim the left lane,” J.A. Tosti, a spokesman for the group, said in a press release.

Tosti and his group are offering backward-reading “Move Over” windshield decal (complete with an arrow that points to the right) that “gently prods” those slower drivers into, well, getting the hell out of the way when they see it in their rearview mirror.

And for those driving through Pennsylvania this summer, a reminder: It's against the law to drive in the left lane unless you are passing. That makes it tough, because many of that commonwealth's antiquated highways are 2 lanes only!
