    I like it. But it looks to me like the arrow is pointing the wrong way.

      Not if you are seeing it in your rear view mirror.

          Click on your link again. That is what you see when looking into your rear view mirror. It looks to me like it's telling you to get further to the left. Am I just seeing it wrong?

              Ed, yeah, your just seeing it wrong. The picture shows somebody driving in the left lane looking intio their review mirror. In their rearview they see Crockett barreling down on them. What the driver sees, looking into his/her rearview mirror, is an arrow saying move to the right.

              Best,

                And I would like one of THOSE to discourage those darn tailgaters who almost shove their bumper into my trunk when I am already at 17mph over limit and passing.

                    Of course it would just out you as being part of the problem! Because you couldn't really drive on the right lane with that, right? So you'd be in my way!

                        All that implies that people who drive slower in the left lane actually use their mirror, or care someone is behind them. I see it every day, they do the speed limit or less in the passing lane, right to the exit they will use, then cut across 3 lanes to get off. Many times I will see on my way to work at 0400 they will get on the highway, & instantly go to the left lane & go slow. These people could care less about anyone or their sign!!! Flashing high beams use to work, not so much any longer. I do like that some people understand that there is a problem, & are trying to find a solution. Remember it's a passing lane, not a fast enough lane. I really love when someone is smart enough to tell me how much to break the law by. Just my 2 cents. sorry for the rant.
                        It's got to be us, because there are a lot more of them!
