CAMAS, Wash. – Among the things you can't avoid in life – death, taxes and the slow driver in the fast lane.
Oh, you can try passing them in the HOV lane, but if you’re driving solo, the State Patrol will likely make you pay for it. You can tailgate, but risk getting into a wreck. You can honk or give the one finger salute, but then you're dealing with potential road rage.
Now a Camas man has come up with a passive-aggressive way to make those slow drivers in the passing lane move over, and it's apparently working.
J.A. Tosti came up with the idea of putting a thin vinyl strip on the top of the windshield with an arrow pointing to the right lane that literally tells drivers to "Move Over."
The words are spelled backwards on the sticker, so a driver looking in their rearview mirror will see it spelled correctly – similar to how emergency vehicles spell out "ambulance" backwards on the hood.

Nothing like breaking the law to piss people off. Why don’t you just shoot them? Break their windows? Slash their tires? One law, another law... same thing, really.
I won't take your comment personally since you don't know me ... and I don't know you ...but I'll bet I drive 99% better than you AND the other drones out there.
Do people with Kerry bumper stickers also offend you?
Volvo drivers are without doubt the worst drivers on the planet.
But somehow the loudest complaints about “slow” left lane drivers always seem to come from speeders who are pissed off that the person in front of them in the “passing” lane is only going 10-15 miles over the speed limit, thus preventing pissy driver from exceeding the speed limit by an even greater margin. These same pissy drivers do not use the left lane as a “passing” lane either. They drive exclusively in the left lane, except for brief passing/weaving swoops of a few seconds at a time through the right lane, in order to zip by aforementioned left lane drivers who are already going 10-15 over the speed limit.
That would get you an aggressive driving ticket in California.
You make it sound soo wrong, LOL.
LOL ...we have our fair share of those ...do you want some more? I’d be happy to send you some of ours.
Around here that would be “Backie”! As in toe-backie! Wer u frum Boay?

It is expected that traffic in the left lane moves faster than other traffic. If someone wants to do the speed limit, they ought to be in the right-hand lane.
If I was in the left lane at ten over and someone came up behind me going obviously faster, I’m getting over at the first and safest possible time. I do not feel that I have a God given right to impede the flow of traffic. Nor is it my responsibility to “hold him up” like some kind of self appointed traffic cop.
I'm amazed at the intense powers of perception you have to discern the irritation and thoughts of someone located behind you and surrounded by sheet-metal (or fiberglass if the cowboy is in a Corvette).
One might think you'd use all that vision to see the 3 open lanes to your right. (:^D)
That’s the way I think about it.
Nice tagline too.
Surrender your license, you are a rolling impediment to safe highways.
You must be related to Nancy Pelousey
Many learned studies have shown that speed limits make highways less safe, and less functional. They are a product of socialism.
“Nice tagline”
ditto
Your statement shows me you are not a native Texan.
More evidence of the problem. People whose driving goal is to teach lessons to others. Thanx for stepping up.
Thanks
