Forum Post: A way to support a general strike for the rest of us

Idea in support of general strike: OTS (Occupy The Street). This would simply be a work slowdown by driving slower on the morning commute. It's simple: morning commute time due to traffic density already are costly to business. The idea here is to create traffic slowing deliberately (but safely!). All one would have to do is drive about 5-10 miles slower than prevailing speed in morning commute. Get enough people to participate, and traffic speeds will decline a lot, making lots of people late for work, slowing commerce, and allowing for anonymous participation.

This would have to be done safely: only driving slower in the slow lanes, not actually stopping traffic. I'm sure there are other safety considerations like staying in one's car. But for those of us not in a position to strike, and there are a lot of us, participating in a traffic slowdown that makes us late (perhaps very late) for work would be effective if it had messaging behind it (like OTS Day Nov 2!)
