Slow Drivers Who Drive in the Fast Lane

It was just a second. That is all it took. The headlights were speeding towards us. There was no time to react when I saw the other car. There were tire screeches and a blaring horn that was screaming in my ear. I felt my body slam against the seatbelt, and the shattering glass sliced my face and arms. That was the end. (Imagery). I hope that I will never have to live through that scenario. According to RMIIA in 2008, 2,739 drivers between the ages of 15 and 20 died in a motor vehicle accident. Since then, the number has only increased. From these statistics, adults often generalize teenagers as “reprobate” drivers. Shockingly, this statistic is similar for adults.

Going below the speed limit in the fast lane causes other drivers to make risky, last-minute moves. Because of this, many states have signs on the interstate that read, "Left lane for passing only." One example is Georgia. The Georgia legislature recently passed a bill making it illegal to
