Left Lane Laggard v. Lead Foot Loser (with Ross Kelly)

Premeditated

Send us a text

In a tire-squealingly contentious case, Neil and Graham, talk to Ross Kelly to tackle the most infamous unwritten law since the invention of the Model T: Get out of my way! Shown through the POVs of a young, virile couple and a college-bound younger sibling, we explore the in's and out's of going in and out of the leftmost lane.
The speed limit isn't the only thing being exceeded! We take comedy to new heights. We do what no lawmaker or politician has ever dared to do, we close the case on where civilians should drive and at what speeds. Do you pull over for highway cowboys? Are cars, by definition, litter?
Don't be surprised if this episode find its way into your nephew's Drivers Ed class curriculum, because the rules of the road start here, and this case file is marked "IMPORTANT" with a double underline.

Judge Neil:
Counsel, we’re here to address the use of the left lane on a freeway. Mr. Graham, you may begin.

Mr. Graham:
Thank you, Your Honor. The left lane should be reserved for passing only. Drivers who remain there unnecessarily cause congestion and create safety hazards.

Mr. Ross :
Your Honor, the left lane isn’t strictly for passing. In some situations, like heavy traffic or when the right lane is occupied, it’s safer to remain in the left lane.

Judge Neil:
Are you suggesting drivers should stay in the left lane even when not overtaking?

Mr. Ross:
Yes, Your Honor. In certain cases, it’s safer and more efficient to stay there.

Mr. Graham:
But that shouldn’t be the standard. Drivers should move right when possible to avoid blocking traffic.
