Multiple lanes? USE THEM FOR THEIR INTENDED PURPOSE!!!

After reading John C. Prindle's February 8th commentary, I needed to respond. While I certainly agree with you Mr. Prindle that safety should be paramount when driving an automobile, plugging up the roads by be overly cautious or the flat out lethargic is quite another. For some inexplicable reason, the concept of multiple lanes on a road escapes the minds so many people, especially those that plug along at 10 miles below the speed limit. I grew up and lived in a much larger city than Longview/Kelso where drivers that chose to drive below the speed limit, (which many seem to do in this town) stayed in the RIGHT LANE. Here, you may have a four lane road, two in each direction and you have two snails pacing one another with a caravan of vehicles trailing behind....with blood pressure soaring. For the love of God, would you slow, lethargic drivers, PLEASE stay in the right lane thus unplugging many would be traffic jams. Thank you.
