that will back up the interstate for miles. I'm not talking about any lanes being blocked either. I'm just talking about the perception that the "move over, or slow down" law is interpreted by way too many people as "move over, or else." The effect is any flashing lights on the shoulder effectively turns I81 into a one lane road.
