Let's hope this is the beginning of something...
June is Lane Courtesy Month
WAUNAKEE, Wis., May 27 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Motorists Association
(NMA) has designated June as Lane Courtesy Month with the slogan "Do The RIGHT
Thing!"
Lane Courtesy, also called Lane Discipline, has a powerful influence on
highway safety, traffic flow, and congestion. Arguably, its effect is more
important than speed limits, traffic enforcement, or any other attempt to
control driver behavior. Ask almost any motorist what most raises their ire
when using major highways and the answer will be "failure of slower traffic to
keep right or yield to the right when faster traffic approaches."
Lane Courtesy is desperately needed on our roads. NMA has developed five
topical articles that address separate aspects of the Lane Courtesy concept
and hopes you will consider using one or more of these articles as the 2004
summer driving season begins.
"Do The RIGHT Thing!" June is Lane Courtesy Month: This explains the
development and decline of lane courtesy in the United States.

"Do The RIGHT Thing!" For Safety - Why Lane Courtesy is Important: The
safety benefits of lane courtesy are often overlooked. Learn how our roads
could be safer. http://www.motorists.org/right/releasetwo.html
"Do The RIGHT Thing!" Learn Lane Courtesy: Before lane courtesy can
become commonplace, the driving public will have to adopt a few simple rules
of conduct. http://www.motorists.org/right/releasethree.html
I Won't "Do The RIGHT Thing!" I'm Driving The Speed Limit: Even though
lane courtesy is a win-win situation for all highway users, some drivers
refuse to embrace it. Here's what can be done to address this problem.

How Do We Teach Drivers to "Do The RIGHT Thing!": Regardless of the
obstacles, America needs and deserves a lane courtesy ethic.
