Haha, didn't even notice that it was in that section. I actually stole it off Express705's facebook, so that must be where he got it from.

cop is awesome. need more cops like him on the road. guy recording, not so much. love this video so much cause some van was driving 65 in the carpool today.

the guy recording is fucking annoying

TiAg335i · 04-14-2011, 04:02 PM

that's a dick move...he could have just popped his lights on, the guy would have moved over immediately, and he could have continued on his way, but nooo he had to follow him over multiple lanes to make the guy think he was pulling him over just to be a fuckin dick.....

whatever. people need to understand the simple concept of SHIT OR GET OFF THE POT. they understand it perfectly in europe, but most people are too stupid/self-indulged to grasp it here. i wish cops would issue tickets for that more often. maybe if there was a nationwide crackdown and millions of tickets were issued, people would start to pull their heads out of their asses. i ALWAYS gtfo the left lane after i'm done using it. i drive my tahoe 99% of the time these days and it's not exactly a mover. chances are that someone will come screaming up on my ass eventually, and i know how much it pisses me off by someone putting along in the left lane, so i stay clear unless i'm passing.

better than writing a speeding ticket for 67 over 65...

Blake, correct me if I'm wrong, the cop can technically write the civic driver for cruising on the overtake lane?

yes it's technically illegal in almost every state. i haven't seen many interstates without the 'left lane for passing only' or 'slower traffic keep right' signs on the side. that's a kind way of saying no camping in the hammer lane. now enforcement is a different story.

semi-related, but i was bored out of my mind last night watching dog the bounty hunter...they were in colorado and got pulled over for camping in the left lane. they were issued a ticket. i almost wet myself i was so happy. not because the real life cartoon family got a ticket, but the cop actually stopped someone for hogging the left lane.

Blake · 04-14-2011, 04:18 PM

quick google search yielded me this page: http://www.mit.edu/~jfc/right.html
breaks down left lane laws by state. looks to be pretty clear that it's against code to hog the left lane just about everywhere. even shows NJ "Passing on right prohibited unless vehicles are in "substantially continuous lines". 39:4-85." so technically, civic dude caught a break.

I don't think it was a dick move. He sat on his ass for a while, driver doesn't get it....slower cars= far right lane. It looked like the cop simply pointed out which lane he "should" be driving in.

WINNING!

TiAg335i · 04-14-2011, 07:57 PM

think about it...even if you are in the left lane, and a cop is on your ass, are you going to give him any reason at all to pull you over? no....so most people in this scenario wouldn't have sped up, even if there was a cop tailing your ass.

NBRider88 · 04-14-2011, 08:00 PM

most people would automatically move over and get out of his way.

MrRoboto · 04-14-2011, 08:01 PM

If the honda was going the speed limit he has every right to be there. The cop was tailgating which is illegal. Keep right except to pass is not a law.

This says different...depending on which state you are in.

Sometimes doing the right thing isn't doing the right thing.

Why the HELL would you stay in fast lane if your gonna go same pace as other lane drivers? I just don't get it. If I was the cop, I would do the same shit.
