Occasionally folks will get it and move over, but often they act like it's their right to be there, even when the is NOTHING in the right lane.

It seems as though folks just need to be educated. I say that because I get so many "What?" looks. It should be a requirement that every year, you take a test. Nothing major, just a 10-minute sit down from the drivers manual. I am sure many folks would be surprised to learn which lane you are supposed to turn into, what fog lights are really for, how to move right except to pass, etc...

It'll never happen.
The more the population of Oregon grows, the worse it gets...where did these people come from?
