I truly wish the CHP would help make our roads BETTER rather than focusing on making them "safer". This has to be one of the best things I've read about the highway patrol evAR!!!

do you have to know how to drive to get a license these days?

 

nope plenty of people in the sunset have a license and cant even speak english. but yeah they really should start doing this!! theres a video on youtube i think someone posted here that a cop blipped someone for going slow in the fast lane.

 

This is the best thing EVAR!

 

Yeah, I tried searching for that thread to just add this but I couldn't find it. Oh well. Maybe there's a few CHP officers on here that might take this to heart. One can only hope.

I posted that video up of the cop blipped someone for diving to slow ill try to find the thread

 

I think that he was blipping him for not allowing other cars to pass, not necessarily for driving "too slow". Absolutely awesome regardless!!!

Noted, but if they are going the speed limit there is nothing that can be done.

 

very true^

 

I wish cops would do this...I drive 3-500 miles a week easy and maybe one person a week actually gets over and let's me pass...I follow this law religiously because it pisses me off like none other...even if I were doing 80+ on the freeway, I'd get over for someone going faster...I've even gone from the 2nd fast lane over one to let someone pass

 

It's not so much about moving over for a faster car as it is about not sitting in the passing lane unless you're actively passing a car. This all goes out the window in moderate to heavy traffic obviously, but the general rule is "keep right except to pass".

It works like clockwork in most European countries that I've driven in primarily due to the drivers' education/training that one has to go through in those countries. It really makes me wish we could implement more difficult driving tests here in the U.S.

In Washington there is, and I think here too, you can be ticketed for failing to follow signs like "slower traffic keep right" and "Left lane for passing only"

Well, Germany is also very aggressive in ticketing violators of this law. I guess that wouldn't be too hard when you don't have to worry about speeders!

 

i drive in the right lane until i pass someone usually. i hate where i live cause there arent any passing lanes
