Driving behind a slowpoke with a sticker on the rear window saying "I love to drive slow" is very frustrating, especially when it is a three lane road and the person is holding up the left lane and keeps driving in a way that nobody can pass through the middle lane.

When are the cops going to do anything about that?

Haaahahahah.. Come to Washington state where every other driver in the fast lane drives like your grandmother after she had a stroke or two. Literally, zig-zagging in an out of the fast lane all the way to the slow lane to get in front of drivers is normal life for people in the Northwest. Even with an urban speed limit of 60mph here people will drive 50mph in the fast lane all the time.

I'd love to see the day when a police officer would bust somebody for driving too slow.. Doesn't fill their quotas though, so not too common.

I've seen quite a few funny (albeit, irritating) stickers and magnets:
  • "Look out for the idiot riding my bumper!"
  • "If you're not a hemorrhoid, get off my ass!"
  • "I can drive in any lane. I pay taxes!"
  • "If you're close enough to read this, the accident is YOUR fault!"
  • "Baby on board. Rear-end me at your own peril." (with a picture of a revolver in the background)
  • "Like it up the butt? No? Then quit riding mine!"
  • "I drive under the speed limit so we both make it home!"
It's also worth noting that the overwhelming majority of the time I see these stickers, they're on a vehicle operated by a terrible driver. The irony is literally a killer.

You think they might have better things to do?

You nailed it... horrible turtle drivers that can't even keep their foot on the gas to keep the same speed but constant releasing their foot of the gas.

These drivers are actual aside from bad drivers and annoying drivers, very dangerous drivers as they are the cause of accidents and traffic jams.

The driver is he OP described is in fact breaking the law and cops have begun enforcing that.

The law should change so that, if you get rear ended in the left lane, you're at fault. Then cops don't have to actively enforce the law until someone gets rear ended.

I guess they missed one, then.

If we all started a thread about a traffic violations, this would be a great forum, wouldn't it? Everyday I see people running red lights, texting while driving, speeding, rolling through stop signs.
