Move Over Idiot

It's Friday, let's talk about my pet peeve.

I've addressed this situation on my blog before but at least one state is finally doing something about it.

Hallelujah! Oklahoma busting slow drivers in left lane


If there is anything worse than someone doing tortoise-like speed in the left lane, it's someone doing tortoise-like speed in the left lane and driving next to someone doing tortoise-like speed in the right lane.

Oklahoma State Troopers aren't having any more of it and have begun enforcing the state's left lane law.

Section 41-11-301 dictates that "Upon all roadways any vehicle proceeding at less than the normal speed of traffic at the time and place under the conditions then existing shall be driven in the right-hand lane when available for traffic..."

What this means is that unless you're doing at least the speed limit or are about to make a left turn, you need to stay out of the left passing lane or risk being pulled over by the guys with the flashing rooftop lights.

Hurray for Oklahoma! I wish all the police would start ticketing these left-lane losers.

Everyone complains about these fools. Now one state is going to make them pay for being stupid!!

The Uniform Vehicle Code states:

Upon all roadways any vehicle proceeding at less than the normal speed of traffic at the time and place and under the conditions then existing shall be driven in the right-hand lane when available for traffic ...

Note that the law refers to the "normal" speed of traffic, not the "legal" speed of traffic. The 60 MPH driver in a 55 MPH zone where everybody else is going 65 MPH must move right.

Nevada law states:

Keep Right?
Nevada 484.373 Move right if "imped[ing] ... movement of traffic"


I've said it before and I'll say it again, "Lead, Follow, Or Get The Hell Out Of The Way."

To all the drivers out there that like to run rolling road blocks in the left lane because you think you are traffic cops, I hope you finally look in your mirror and see this guy with his lights and sirens on and he pulls your butt over.
