I agree with others that say this is confusing. What will you do when you actually need to change lanes to the left?

I idly considered making a fake mace, with a spiky ball made out of styrofoam spray painted a metallic colour, attached to a 1" dowell and mounted on the rear rack sticking out to the left, 18' into traffic. I figured they'd give a wide berth to avoid the chance of scratching their car.
