It wouldn't help. Everybody in America is already aware of this. The problem is that they just don't care. They want to do what is easiest for them. They don't give a crap about anybody else on the road.
people have this 'me first' mentality - like their needs are more important than those of everyone around them. the rules of the road... stay right except to pass... these rules exist to facilitate quicker traffic flow for *everyone*. when people do stupid sh*t like i was ranting about it slows down so many more people.... just so that one idiot can avoid shifting a lane over.

Something elce I noticed is that people use their brakes for no apparent reason. I've seen people hit their brakes on I-95 with nothing in front of them. I'll be behind them and then BAM 70 down to 55 for no reason.

i usually don't have that issue on the highways here. maybe they think you're 'too close' and they're brake checking you?

honorable mention:
You're hypermilling. If you're doing this at all, you shouldn't be on the highway and you probably shouldn't own a car or have a license. If you're doing this in the left lane, you need your license revoked and you need to be punched in the face repeatedly.
No really, I was behind a prius doing this on the highway just a few weeks ago. Going sooooo slow in the left lane i was like what the hell is this guy smoking... I finally pass him on the right.... and he speeds up and gets on MY bumper.... then all of a sudden drops back.. slow, slow, slow... After that he didn't catch up. definition of a$$hat.
