Slow Driviers on the 111

 

from the Desert Sun Let­ters to the Edi­tor today:

Yes, it’s a mess

With regard to “High­way 111 a mess” (Oct. 28), I con­cur. As a senior cit­i­zen approach­ing 70, I find it appalling that so many dri­vers, not just seniors, drive in the left lane, slow­ing down traffic.

In Penn­syl­va­nia there are signs that say, “Slower traf­fic keep to the right. It’s the Law.” I don’t see any such signs in the Coachella Val­ley. Peo­ple from other coun­tries may not know. Per­haps The Desert Sun could have a con­test for some humor­ous slo­gans to help – slo­gans such as “Hey slow poke: Move into the right lane” or: “Hey chatty Kathy: Pull over to the right with your cell phone”. Some such signs would draw atten­tion to the prob­lem and edu­cate the young, the lost, the pre­oc­cu­pied, seniors and visitors.

Per­haps ban­ners over the streets in all of our cities would be a reminder dur­ing the sea­son to keep right and pass left.

This guy was passed out in front of Star­bucks. I have talked to him before. He is sort of on and off again. Some days he is rav­ing about ran­dom stuff that is unde­cern­able (last Decem­ber he was aim­ing a toy gun at passers by), other times he is com­pletely coherent.

A vet­eran.

Sad.
