There won’t be bumper stickers.
I’m starting a movement. I don’t know how many will be moved, but a few would help.
It started with a personal inconvenience and has moved on to change the way I drive. I’m talking about drivers who clog up the right lane at four lane intersections. They plan to go straight through the light and eschew the left lane because there are more cars in it in favor of the right lane that has fewer vehicles in it precisely because of the right turn on red law. So, there they sit, blocking the lane while car after car stacks up behind them impatiently running their right turn signals.
I’m proposing a national movement of courtesy that simply says “Do Right - Stay Left” when going through on at four lane traffic light. However, there won’t be bumper stickers, because every now and then, I forget myself and I am the clod who clogs up the right lane.
(For my friends in Lansing, you can thank the turn from Waverly Rd. (South bound) onto Saginaw Rd (West bound) for this public service announcement.)

Traffic on roads may consist of pedestrians, ridden or herded animals, vehicles, streetcars and other conveyances, either singly or together, while using the public way for purposes of travel. Traffic laws are the laws which govern traffic and regulate vehicles, while rules of the road are both the laws and the informal rules that may have developed over time to facilitate the orderly and timely flow of traffic
I thought maybe this was a political statement.
Smiled at this post....you are so right. I also love the drivers who race to get ahead of you when there is an overtaking lane....evn going way over the limit and then once ahead drop back to a speed way under the limit. Some people just don't get it.
Can you add to the movement? People that cruise in the left lane on the highway? Can't think of a slogan that doesn't involve the word a$$.
