just got pulled over for retarded reason

[Emre]

just wondering why does it piss you off so much?

Because guys like you are the reason why American highways suck. They're full of selfish, arrogant boors who are ignorant of the most basic rules of civilization.

thats what i do if someone comes up on me i let them by. thats why i never saw it as a problem, im not blocking anybody or anything.

Yes you are.

it just seems pointless to change lanes a million times to pass cars that are going 50...

It may surprise you to learn that (despite what your mom might have told you) the world does NOT, in fact, revolve around you.

oh so you just assumed that becouse i got pulled over for driving in the left lane that i was a complete retard?

It would be a fair assumption. Someone who's been driving for over 4 years and still hasn't figured out how to use a multi-lane highway qualifies as retarded. It's really not that complicated. People graduate from med school in 4 years and it took you that long to figure out "keep right except to pass." Wow.

wtf is the problem with cruzing in the left lane when i WAS passing people?? everyone in the right lane was going like 55 cause it was wet and i was doing 60 in the left lane passing a bunch of people.

Oh God. So you're one of those people. Nothing in the world pisses me off more than some smug a-hole in the left lane going 5 MPH over the speed limit. Crawling past traffic with a 1mph speed differential doesn't count as passing.

Stay in the goddamned right lane. That's what it's there for. When you want to pass someone, just f-cking TAKE THE PASS and then move your slow ass back over to the right.

i have driven in the left lane for 4 years on the same highway and passed hundreds of cops. i was under the impression that it was the lane your suposed to be in if your not exiting. anyone ever herd of this?

WTF do they teach you kids in driver's ed these days? This is what's wrong with America.

What pisses me off even more than left lane bandits is assholes that are in the right lane following someone and decide at the very last minute, right when you are about to pass them to pull out in front of you. Fuck them!

I drive 16 all the time and I am so tired of people just sitting there while faster cars have to go around.. I would have given you a ticket

hey.. im pretty sure i bought some parts a while back from you ha. and if someone was coming up on me i would have let them by

Kohl would have given you a ticket regardless. He hates BMW drivers.

Thank you! Just making sure! Other than attempting to pull over for an emergency the ONLY time hazards are to be used while moving is if the rear lights are not operating correctly.

I can't stand it when people drive with hazards on in the rain. That's what euro rear fogs are for. Hazards are only if your car is a hazard, the rain is the hazards not the car lol! On some vehicles the turn signals aren't visible if the hazards are on. Maybe that's because cars aren't supposed to be driven while they are on...hrmm.

oh so you just assumed that becouse i got pulled over for driving in the left lane that i was a complete retard?hah fair enough.

[speedminded]

no why?

If you were passing then this doesn't make sense. People just like to give shit online... I don't see how you were at fault. haha.

lol! I've actually heard of people getting pulled over for brake lights being out because they were downshifting instead. :facepalm: I always heel-toe so it's never an issue and I prefer people knowing I'm slowing down or coming to a stop anyways. Seems logical, over 250k miles of "city" driving and I've been rear ended once only because the 2nd car behind me wasn't paying attention causing the domino effect. I was already on the gas once I heard the squeal of the tires but it was too late...I watched the dude in my rear view mirror smash his face into his steering wheel as he hit the car behind me. Me jumping on the gas prevented any damage to my car other than a couple license plate indention's in my rear bumper. That was 10 years ago and I've since learned how to anticipate situations like that to prevent it.

If it's an emergency stop I always flash my brakes several times before getting on them hard. Trail braking usually indicates I'm coming to an abrupt stop too lol!

Except I was in a 30mph zone coming up to a stop light, (Should have been obvious I was slowing down) and i just shifted from 4th to 3rd before starting to brake. Luckily i didnt have an insurance card with me so he gave me a ticket for that and a warning for the downshifting. Then went to the courthouse with the insurance card and everything was gone.

The left lane is not a campground.

Just out of curiosity, in heavy rains do you drive with your hazards on?

no why?
