Why this sticker has drivers around Australia fuming
Australian motorists have been driven into a frenzy after the New Police Force Facebook page shared an image of a car’s sticker which has gone viral.
The sticker which reads, “KEEP LEFT UNLESS OVERTAKING. YES YOU”, was photographed last Friday and has since been shared and liked thousands of times.
But it didn’t strike a chord with everyone.
Comments on the post have been quite divisive, with many keyboard warriors using it as a chance to criticise the motorist, NSW police and everyone in between.
“I’m tipping he’d be one of the muppets who tailgates within 0.5 seconds while drivers ARE actually overtaking, giving them a dose of high beam,” wrote one Facebook commenter.
“Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for better enforcement of this rule, and I’ll keep the hell out of lane 3 on the M4 as much as possible. But, if I’m out there passing a vehicle and I’m pushing a GPS-verified number that’s damn close to the limit, just chill till we are both past the slower guy, yeah? I’ll move over when we’re clear. Then you can get back to your 130km/h.”

What are your views? Do you think the sticker is all in a bit of fun? Or is it a little patronising?
