Interesting info on legalities of left lane campers

[78X]

dude, when there's nobody else on the road and the right line is hammered the fuck up, I'm cruising in the left lane. and I'll move over if somebody else is coming because I'm aware of my surroundings

in that case then do it, but he wasnt in the left lane because of that.

unless you are passing someone, camp your ass in the right lane where it should be.

You should be nominated for the boards biggest troll award, as you seemingly pick arguments with people just for the sake of being in an argument...

I wouldn't care who rides in the left lane as long as they yield to faster traffic, however the art of common courtesy has been replaced with dick measuring with those claiming the lane as theirs and by God none shall pass.

I regularly cut off 18 wheelers just to repay them the favor. You know, pay it forward and all.

hence why 'bumping' should be allowed, hell, they do call them bumpers.

Richard Petty approves of this post!


"For Richard Petty, bump-drafting already has proven costly. Many people believe it cost him an election.

Petty was cited for bumping a car from behind Sept.11, 1996, on Interstate 85 after it wouldn't move out of the left lane. The ticket came when Petty was running for Secretary of State of North Carolina.

He lost the election.

At the time, Petty, a Republican, said the Democrat-dominated state house turned it into a national story."


Damned democraps!

It doesn't matter if it is a law or not in Texas. The driving laws here are more suggestions then laws. Hardly any of the fucking morons on the roads follow the laws. These people some of the worst drivers I have ever had the misery of driving with

Ya know, you could move your miserable ass to another state if you don't like it here. Believe me, we won't miss you.

So f-ing annoying. Slow driver in the fast lane texting is the worst. Lady got in front of me in the fast lane the other day. I passed her and noticed she was texting got back over and let go of the gas to slow down
F-ing idiot. She didn't have anyone in front of her for a 1/2 mile. What I do usually work better at night is ride the stripe to light up their outside mirror.
75 thru Oklahoma to hwy 40 to Arkansas really sucks monkey balls.

Hmm, I'll remember that the next time I mow down 10 children at a crosswalk, since it is only a suggestion that I yield right of way to pedestrians.

if you wouldnt have been in the left lane where you should not have been, he would have never had the chance to rearend you. Once again, you were in the wrong, and if I was the trooper, your ass would have been cited as you should have been.

Actually, he would have. Had he not come flying up behind me like an asshole he'd probably not have had to burn off half his tires trying to stop. Then he comes storming up looking at the front of my truck for several seconds and says "YOu REALIZE I ALMOST HIT YOU? WHY DID YOU STOP SO FAST?" Idiot.

Why is my ass miserable. Because I don't like the way texans drive? Isn't that what this thread is about?

...
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.
...

At least now you have a valid excuse with the laws and emergency vehicles on the shoulder. You have to go to the opposite lane OR slow down 20mph. Screw slowing down.

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.

X2. I've never been cited for driving in the left lane. On an empty road? FFS, where's the common sense?

I wouldn't care who rides in the left lane as long as they yield to faster traffic, however the art of common courtesy has been replaced with dick measuring with those claiming the lane as theirs and by God none shall pass.

Pet peeve here, too! I've been blocked by morons like this doing 45mph on a 70mph highway thinking "where's the cops??!?". Even PASSED a cop on the side of the road before and the cop never would come up and pull 'em over. Too interested in speeders? What's the fine for impeding traffic/going too slow?
