Delaware Takes Aim at Left Lane Dawdlers

[944BlueS]

One problem. When texting, people's natural tendency is to drift left. It's usually gradual, followed by a quick jerk back into their lane. It's usually noticeable from far back, but something to watch out for. Outbound cell phone calls are marked by extreme slowing while dialing, followed by extreme speeding up after connecting--drifting can go either way. I gathered this data on westbound 76 coming out of the city every day. This is followed by minor accidents marked by stopping in the highway, not pulling over, to exchange information, and virtually stopping traffic for hundreds of other cars.
