What would also help is a bit of driving etiquette where the oncoming traffic
woud drive in the left hand lane for this short stretch.  If you compain about
slow movers in this section, then take the express part.

Remember that even if an accident isn't your fault, It is a lot smarter/safer to
do whatever is in your means to avoid it.  After awhile, insurance companies
don;t care whose fault it was if you magically seem to get in quiet a few 
accidents.

My other pieve is passing on the right(and allowing others to pass
on left), but I keep my mouth shut.

just my ramblings,

mike
