I believe in most states, if not all, it is illegal to drive in the left lane on a two lane interstate highway. I know it is here in Texas. There are signs everywhere that say, "LEFT LANE FOR PASSING ONLY."
You have 3 things your relying on here, 1: They can read. 2: They can read English. 3: They're old people and you get a line that starts out with "Back in my day....." lol
