You just do not understand, the police made the man get out of the lane he was in, he was causing a traffic problem, after the police finally got the man doing 70 to move out of the fast lane, then the cop left the fast lane as well, so that the traffic could start moving properly.

The policeman
I was traveling south at about 75 mph when I came upon a guy in the far left lane doing about 70. Speed limit is 70. There’s 3 lanes. I stayed on the guy’s a-ss for about 2 miles. I flashed him twice, nothing. I didn’t want to haul balls, but he was starting to get all kinds of cars backing up. He had 2 lanes available to his right. Normally, I’ll keep it at 78-80 to keep the flow going. This guy wouldn’t move. Finally, I turned my lights on, he began to pull over to the left, I motioned -—> and he got the hint, started moving over, got into the ‘slow’ lane, I turned my lights off, got into the middle lane and continued about my business.

Read post 171 again, those are all cops, and they explain the reason that laws are having to be passed so that they can fine those people who are determined to hold up traffic in the fast lane and cause dangerous conditions and road rage, and who break up traffic flow and cause massive numbers of lane changes as people have to pass them on the right and try to maneuver past them. If people come up on me in the fast lane, I get out of that lane whether I am doing the speed limit, less than the speed limit but still legal, or even exceeding the speed limit. It isn't my place to impose my ego on the fast lane and interfere with the driving of dozens, or hundreds, or thousands of people.

I do understand what you’re saying.

You don’t understand what I’m saying. But, that’s OK. Have a good day.
