just got pulled over for retarded reason

[Aptyp]

So you're god damn mother fucking moron blocking highways... Good to know.



(to OP)

I'm glad you are learning now what yout DMV handbook tried to teach you years ago.

You'll get no remorse from me either, I fucking hate people who do that, especially when there are signs made exactly just for that reason.

Exactly. Millions of dollars of tax payers money spent on signs that people think don't pertain to them. Speeding could fall in that category too but it doesn't cause congestion, doesn't effect everyone around you, and certainly doesn't entice road rage. I would safely bet drivers in the left lane are the number one cause of road rage.

i know im at fault, im not trying to argue with anyone. it was just irritating becouse i was on my way to work and there were four or five other cars doing the same thing. lesson learned ha, one less "left lane bandit" here

[Brian D]

Pay attention, now.

[Massive Lee]

Hopefully a lesson was learned here. I hate left lane bandits who think they own the road, even though they keep a steady 60mph on the left lane, passing cars with a ONE mph "advantage". And for those asking if perhaps we could pass on the right, the answer is NO. It is illegal to pass on the right. If you do so and get hit from a car on the left lane pulling over to the right, then you are at fault... No passing on the right.

As for the OP. Swallow your pride. Accept you were at fault. Just don't repeat the same mistake. ;)

All is right with the world.

i was driving in the left lane on highway 16 wich is a two lane highway and there was a cop on the right side of the road. He pulled out and got behind me blah bla and pulled me over. His reason?? apparently its illeagal in washington to drive in the left lane, its for passing and emergency vehicles only. i didnt get a ticket or anything and im not ranting i just think thats stupid. 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?

I would love to shake that officers hand and buy him a coffee and donut.

Depending on the state it's "Keep right except to pass" or "slower traffic keep right". The left lane is never to be driven in unless you are overtaking a vehicle, period. It's simple, you pass and you merge into the right lane...it's a really simple concept.

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.

Which was it? You said you have been driving in the left on the same road for 4 years and now you say you were passing people?

"i was under the impression that it was the lane your suposed to be in if your not exiting. anyone ever herd of this?"

Why would he bother pulling you over if you are driving in the left lane while there was people in the right lane? As your original posts says, he stated the left lane is for "passing and emergency vehicles only". You first and next to last post don't add up.

i should be more clear.. i got pulled over for breaking the law in a retarded situation.

That's awesome. I'm glad they're finally enforcing "stay right pass left" laws.

Get out of the left hand lane, stupid.

[Trucidatio]

Nope not retarded, its the law.

[Mde36]

I'm always passing people anyway so it doesn't really apply to me

[e30:)]

Wow I didnt know that, I always considered the left lane as the fast lane and slower traffic stay on the right.

thats what i thought to, i have seen roads where it says keep right exept to pass but not on 16

[e30:)]

it doesnt say it anywhere on highway 16, i just thought it was retarded.
