RE: GZ's comment

It is indeed a very relevant comment. Lack of lane discipline, NOT speed, is THE major failure on our freeways - anyone who has ever driven in Europe knows that. My Carte Blanche column in the print edition of Wheels this weekend deals in part with that. You still see a few of those signs around, but because our roads are designed so that the right lane (the 'Jim-only' lane) disappears all the time, people are reluctant to get stuck in there. There is no enforcement of the existing legislation that requires drivers to drive right, and no education either. Those stupid pixelboard signs should contain traffic warnings, or DRIVE RIGHT EXCEPT TO PASS - nothing else. (BTW, there IS no blind spot, as regular readers will already know...). That same message should be painted on every overpass, and police should be required to put enforcement of that law ahead of EVERYTHING else except seat belt use and impaired driving. It would be SO easy...
