Yeah, the sticker is a d-bag move, but it makes a valid point. The passing lane (not the fast lane) only exists for one reason and that is to pass slower traffic. There is no other purpose for it. Some bright dude thought "hey, let's add another lane so we can pass the semi's and farm vehicles that hold every up". Brilliant until a generation or two goes by and there is no one left on the road that remembers why the left lane was added in the first place.
Everyone, please only use the left lane for passing and when you do pass, get on with it. No one should ever intentionally block traffic. That's rude, dangerous and stupid.
Teach your kids to drive the right way because the DMV sure doesn't.
Oh, and the on ramps are a 1/4 mile long for a reason. Get up to speed damnit! Much safer merging if travelling at a similar speed.

Well, if you're a cop and you're cruising under the speed limit, then you're just as much as a douchebag as anybody else that does it, and depending on the state you're in, could be subject to a Citizen's arrest depending on how much of a douche you feel like being.
If you're not illegally in the left lane, then you're probably speeding, which means he who is following you is both speeding and following too close, so he gets two tickets. Of course, if your lights aren't on, why are you speeding? If not responding to a call you're subject to the same laws as everybody else. Except for, I've been informed, seat belt laws.
That is, unless you're one of those "special" cops who thinks laws don't apply to you because it's your job to enforce them.
