Slower Traffic Keep Right

Slower traffic keep right. That's all it says. There are no exlusions, no caveats, no waivers. That means if I am coming up behind you and you can safely move to the right to get out of my way, you are obligated to do so. You are slower than me, therefore you are slower traffic; KEEP RIGHT!!!

It doesn't matter if you are already going 70 mph and the speed limit is 60 mph. It doesn't matter if you think it's your right to drive wherever you want, because you don't. It is not up to you to enforce the law. It is not up to you to evaluate the law. No evaluation is needed. It is so simple, a caveman could understand it. Slower traffic keep right!

Perhaps you are afflicted in some way and are confused about which side is right. I'll make it easy; it's the side I have to pass you on because you won't get out of the way!

I only wish there were some way to push a button and override the driver. either that or allow fender mounted rocket launchers. I know that's a bit harsh, but people should pay attention, know the rules of the road (and common courtesy), and do it!
