Dextrolanophobia

Have I blogged about this topic before? It has long been a problem here is western Washington. Empty right lanes on freeways, that is. You see, the liberals in western Washington apparently loathe anything right-wing, including driving in the right lane of the freeways. I have coined the term dextrolanophobia (dextro as in right, lano as in lane, and phobia as in fear) to describe this apparent fear of driving in the right lane. Every day, the right lane is almost empty on the crowded freeways as all the centrists and leftists crowd to the center and left lanes.

So I pass them on the right. It might be illegal, but the sign says "Keep right except to pass" and not "No passing on the right." In Europe, they enforce that "Keep right except to pass" law, and the motorways have all the slow moving vehicles in the outside lane, allowing the middle lanes to drive at their own speed.
