June is Lane Courtesy Month

Moving over or yielding to faster traffic is an important, but often
forgotten, concept. In order to promote this basic driving rule, which
is commonly referred to as ³lane courtesy, the National Motorists
Association has designated June as Lane Courtesy Month.

Practicing Lane Courtesy has many benefits. First of all, lane courtesy
makes our roads safer. The simple act of moving over for faster traffic
smoothes the flow of traffic, which reduces congestion, tailgating,
dangerous passes, and erratic speed fluctuations.

Lane courtesy also reduces ³road rage. The failure of slower traffic to
yield can make driving irritating. By practicing lane courtesy, our
time behind the wheel becomes more enjoyable and motorists are less
likely to engage in aggressive behaviors brought on by frustration.

Given the high price of gas, it¹s also worth mentioning that lane
courtesy can improve gas mileage. Vehicles consume more fuel when they
accelerate than when they maintain a consistent speed. When motorists
have to brake and maneuver around a driver blocking the left lane, they
waste time, gas, and money!

Each year, billions of dollars are spent to enforce speed limits and
seatbelt laws, but very few people even know about lane courtesy laws.
The law requires that vehicles drive in the right lane unless they are
passing or turning left.

³This law was designed to benefit motorists, but it¹s almost never
enforced, said Ivan Sever, the NMA¹s Massachusetts State Chapter
Coordinator. ³Lane courtesy is worthy of as much attention as other
traffic laws, if not more.

Increased public awareness about this issue coupled with simple changes
in driving behavior can have a major impact. ³Lane Courtesy takes some
effort, but it¹s worth it, said Eric Skrum, NMA Communications Director.
³If every motorists do their part, driving would be more fun, our roads
would be safer, and we could even save money on gas. For more
information about the concept of lane courtesy and its many benefits,

The National Motorists Association (NMA) was established in 1982 to
represent the interests and rights of North American motorists. It is a
grassroots organization that operates at the national level and through
a system of state chapters. The NMA is entirely supported through the
contributions of individuals, families, and small businesses. To find

Once again you demonstrate that you are in capable of understanding the
English language.

Nothing in the OP mentioned what people HAD to do, but rather what is
courteous. I know that is an alien concept for you but you might try
wrapping your miniscule brain around the idea.

Well, it's also required by law in many states and also in some foreign
countries as well. So it is not only courteous but may very well be
required, depending on where troll being lives.

I believe that troll being has been traced to Colorado, in which case
it is required there.

The only wrapping that would serve any use to Loca Laura's brain would be around
a lamppost.

If that were true (and it isn't), don't be surprised if you get a bullet
in the head the next time you throw some marbles or coins at someone
else's windshield.

But this is the same action you advocate for people who do not drive as you
wish, does that mean the tailgaters get to shoot you?

Once again you fail logic.

And will you for Gods sake please stop cross posting you ignorant loon

I recommend roofing nails. After they puncture the sand paper on Loco
Laura's "tars," (Loco Laura's onwn words) maybe if we are lucky, the
nails will make their way through and also damage the rims.

Good one! I'll have to keep that one in mind!

Not questioning your word, but could you cite that law for us?

There is nothing that Loco Laura can do *legally* to stop them. As we
have seen here, Loco Laura is perfectly willing to break the law when it
sees fit.

I would certainly hope that the standards to become a Peace Officer in
TX are sufficiently high that Loco Laura will never qualify to become
one...

I believe that Texas is similar to WA State:
