Georgia, not the only state that has made it illegal to stay camped out in the left lane, Washington also is fed up. Simply put, stay right except to pass

Last month I posted about the Georgia law, and now i just learned that Washington also has a law about it.

According to a report on Seattle’s KCPQ Fox 13 News via http://blog.caranddriver.com/all-other-states-take-note-washington-state-troopers-crack-down-on-left-lane-squatters/, state troopers are cracking down on so-called “left-lane squatters” through the enforcement of a state law that requires drivers to stay to the right except to pass. Drivers may get a verbal warning or an actual citation as troopers endeavor to “change driver behavior, whichever way we can,” said one officer in the report. As another said, “I think that’s the number one issue that we have . . . people just sitting in that left lane.” He goes on to suggest that which we all know is true, namely that left-lane squatters contribute to anger and in some cases, all-out road rage, as faster drivers follow close behind the squatter, or tear off at unsafe speeds around the driver when they finally get the chance. As the saying goes: Hell hath no fury like a driver stuck behind a Toyota Prius.
