Interesting info on legalities of left lane campers

[stevo]

if they only knew that these 18 wheelers would kill them ... So many times they have cut me off just to exit etc.. I dont understand it..

If only these guys in the 18 wheelers knew that those guys in the little cars have firearms and would turn their head into a canoe the first time some pencil-dick in an 18 wheeler decided to turn his 80,000 pound phallus into a weapon.

I hate when people ride my ass in the left lane even though it is perfectly clear that there is a car (or many cars) in front of me that I'm waiting on to pull out of my way.


BTW, that law, the way it is worded, doesn't mean shit since left lane campers have slowed the "normal speed of traffic" down to their own speed... unless they are actually going slower than the right lane, which doesn't usually seem to be the case.

Many people drive like that because they pretend they are Cole Trickle.

You're assuming that everyone driving above the speed limit is late.

My $.02:

I am not a fan of "left lane for passing only", but am a fan of "slower traffic keep right". As mentioned, there are MANY road where the right lane is nothing but garbage, and generally speaking in terms of seeing animals running out, etc, the left lane is more safe. Forcing someone to drive in the right lane when there isn't another vehicle on the road is bullshit.

the worse thing i hate is if its a non injury accident the law is to get it off the road ,instead DFD likes to block 3 lanes for a very minor fender bender..

That pisses me off to no end. If the cars are still driveable then pull them off the damn road onto the shoulder!

Move your junk if you're slower than the flow of traffic. Click the link for the map. Yes, I know it is from 2010.

I had the same thing happen in Van Zant county a few years ago. I pulled into the left lane to avoid debris on the right lane, then noticed the cop sitting on the shoulder, so I stayed in the left lane to give her a wide berth. He pulled me over, and asked me why I was driving from Dallas and if I still lived in Longview. I informed him that I wasn't driving from Dallas, I was driving from Salado, but didn't elaborate further. So he asked, "What business did you have in Salado?"

I looked him square in the face and said, "I buried my father today."
He stood there for a few seconds and said, "You what?"
So I repeated, "I buried my father today. He died almost three weeks ago, and they found his decomposing body when his neighbor called in a welfare check last week, So, I drove to Temple last night, stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn on Scott Blvd., drove to the Cedar Hill Cemetery in Salado this morning, and buried my father. Do you have any other fucking questions?"

He handed me my license, said, "I'm so sorry," and walked away.

ooooo that's a good one. Im going to use that one

The right lane on Jacksboro hwy199 from Azle to Springtown is completely fucked

I dislike left lane campers as much as anyone, but we got pulled over on I10 at 3am on a drive to florida once. Not a single car in sight for miles and miles and it was necessary to pull us over for driving in the left lane?

anyone know how much it cost to rent a billboard to post "Get out of the left lane!!!!"

Depending on location they cost between $200 to $1000 a month.
