Road-Trip Blues

There are many fundamental truths in this world. At least two can be verified simply by hitting the Great American Road:

1. They always screw you at the drive-thru

2. Not enough people think “Slower Traffic Keep Right” means them

But it’s not like I’m bitter or anything.

    There should be a standing bounty on people who fail to “Keep Right Except to Pass”. Second biggest thing I miss about Germany, behind the beer.

  2. Xrlq Says:

    Slower is a comparative. How can I be going “slower,” when I’m going the exact same speed as me? Like the sign says, it’s the guys going slower who should move to the right.

  3. SayUncle Says:

    Ahh, the old slow in the fast lane routine. If you’ve never been stuck behind someone going slow in the fast lane, it’s because you’re the idiot going slow in the fast lane.

  4. David Says:

    In deer country it’s a survival tactic to drive in the fast lane when there’s no-one else around.
    The median grass is mown, unlike the trees at the road’s edge. Gives more reaction time.

    All the dead deer remains on the road are in the “slow” lane.

    I can’t say anything other than Amen!

    Preach it.

  6. Cinomed Says:

    There was a guy I used to autocross with, in reverse lettering he had a windsheild banner that says “Slower traffic in the RIGHT lane!”
    Hillarious I say!

  7. Brass Says:

    I loved Germany for there stance on left lane to pass only. They even give tickets to people going slow in the left lane. That, and you could end up with a Porche up your ‘tailpipe’.

    Some states like Michigan and Kentucky and Pennsylvania have a “keep right except to pass” laws, even if they aren’t enforced as they should be. A couple of decades ago, my father-in-law claims he was ticketed in Pennsylvania for failing to get out of the left lane, even though he was going 10 MPH over the limit (for which, oddly enough, the officer didn’t ticket him).

    “1. They always screw you at the drive-thru”

    Not at Back Yard Burgers…

    Cinomed:
    I’ve often thought of making a sign like that. I really wish we had Gallagher’s “Stupid-flag” dart gun.

    Tgirsch:
    Noted, thanks.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
