Because that's obviously not a solution to the problem. If it were, tailgating would be a thing of the past.

heh, I'll admit if you are going slower than the traffic in your lane, and you can move over to the right you should, but riding someones butt to get them over isn't a safe alternative. If they freak out they might do something diferent them what they should, imagine if they slam on their breaks, or swerve into the grass or over to the right lane when there is a car there. I don't think those truck drivers would be very happy with themselves then. Well, they might attempt to make themselves feel justified by saying, if the weren't in the left lane that wouldn't have happened.

Here's an idea. Instead of putting up dull useless metal signs no one reads that say; "Trucks over 10 wheels must use 2 right lanes", put up bright flashing signs that say "All 4 wheelers gtfo of truck drivers way cus they're not allowed in the left lane and it ain't safe to pass on the right plus there's a slow truck blocking that lane which means they're more or less stuck in the center lane where you are driving too slow I might add and don't forget most truckers get paid by the mile not by the hour you silly wabbit and btw don't complain about that werner truck tailgating you cus he's trying to deliver the freshly baked crumb cake you were complaining this morning walmart was out of stock on okay? Thank you! - D.O.T"

heh, that would be cool, but do remember, the 4 wheelers might again freak out. might take thier eyes off the road for 5 sec and wreak, probably the reason they haven't done it, lol.

Heh, I guess they do but lets just say I don't plan on keeping you busy with traffic acedents, maybe a heart attack when a pair of nice legs goes by or something like that

When I started driving (NY state) I was taught that passing on the right was illegal. When cars drive slow in the middle lane and trucks aren't allowed in the left lane I'm forced to pass on the right. It ticks me off in a major way and I hate it!!!

anonymous should hack ATT and send a mass text to all iphones: 'Move over!' that may remind the driver that they are in a car and not in their livingroom. Besides they are looking at the phone 99% of the time, so it would get noticed unlike a road sign :P No, seriously- the answer is better driver education, standardized laws so wherever we go we know what the rule is.

Well, they could do it like the old Burma Shave or Barbasol signs.... short blurbs every 10th of a mile. No... that wouldn't work... they'd only get bits and pieces inbetween TEXTS!
