Cop Pulls Drivers Going Too Slow in the Left Lane

[CopiousX]

I was taught when getting my permit that a traffic cop overrides a traffic light/ or driving sign

Depends on the state.

And outside of emergency situations, this is a bad thing that should be advocated against even in the states where it's practiced. It basically gives cops free reign to arbitrarily pull people over and pad ticket numbers .

It will put drivers in a position where you are damned if you do and damned if you don't in a courtroom

Cops actually doing their jobs.

Get pulled over for driving the speed limit brehs.

Instead of pulling over the people not obeying the law, pull over the one person who was, crehs.

It's not that serious , I'll just around if I can .

Nah, that shyt corny and it really can be dangerous. First cop was in Atlanta and I be driving on the same roads. I've gotten over on slow left lane drivers only to see them switch lanes after me. Thing is, it's somebody else behind me that was also trying to do what I was doing, and the slow driver ends up cutting them off. Exactly how road rage starts.

A law enforcement officer is literally telling someone to ignore the speed limit. This same officer will also pull you over for speeding and give you a ticket

In some states you can't cruise in the passing lane even going the speed limit.


Highway cops seem to abide by a "flow of traffic" rule, so there'll be times were everyone including cops will be driving 75-80. If you're in the left lane going 65 while the flow of traffic is 75 in one of those states, you might get noticed by a cop.

It is that serious. Some States literally post signs saying slow traffic should keep right.

You slow?
Move to the right lane
Same with escalators
Walk on the left side
Stand on the right side

This should be common knowledge

Exactly

You have leeway in the passing lane… because you are passing.

GTF out of the way if you are not passing. Put on your signal… people will let your slow ass get over just to get you tf out the way

I always thought you have a 5-10 mph over in the passing lane and I drive as such. Thats fast enough to speed by the cars in the right.

Even police get annoyed with that shyt. I did that all the time driving between states. As soon as you pass or if you want to cruise, get over. Left is not a cruising lane

This is not a good look. Use the far right lane for this type of travel speed

They should do this to people who don't know how to zipper or merge when a lane is ending. You don't jump into the next line when there is still space. Ride your lane to the end and squeeze in. Otherwise you are backing up traffic in 2 lanes. IMO, here in Toronto, this is one of the biggest reasons for traffic jams, especially in construction zones.

Yeah. Should be common sense. Far left lanes are passing lanes during regular commutes and squad lanes when traveling after midnight and your crew got 2 cars or more….

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

when i'm in the left lane please believe i'm doin around 90

 

[CouldntBeMeTho]

Nah. Thats a double standard in most states

I've been in that lane and I've seen people going at 30 miles over the speed limit, trying to be on your bumper trying to get you to drive it 30 miles over the speed limit and that's a no.

In some states, I understand that there is a rule saying that you can't be in the left lane unless you're overtaking. For example when passing through Kansas in Missouri , I noticed this myself due to signs that clearly marked this on the side of the road. But this isn't the case in most States. There is no special value to the left lane even if there is an HOV. It's no more dangerous to turn on the right lane then it is to turn and overtake on the left lane.


If you aren't going insanely below the speed limit, there is no such thing as impeding traffic. You are using the road exactly the same way the civil engineers who designed the road intended it to be used.

I feel you but if you're gonna drive the speed limit get the fukk out the fast lane

Fast lane is for chance takers dice shakers

So what is an actual speed limit?

People actually get mad when someone zipper merges correctly. I cussed an ex out because she sped up and then got mad because someone managed to merge infront of her, complaining that they waited till the last minute like that's not what you're supposed to do.
