You wouldn't have that problem if you stayed out of the PASSING lane while driving.
Here is a list of people I have pulled over for speeding, only to escort them to their destination:
1) Daughter rushing to hospital for parents in car wreck;
2) Woman in labor at 25 weeks;
3) Teenageer in college rushing to hospital when Father had heart attack;
4) LRAFB airman about to miss a unit movement due to traffic;
5) LRAFB officer and his wife hauling ass to get to the closest bedroom after his 2 year deployment in Iraq.(best escort ever);
6) Finally, I let a driver go when I saw him come over a hill going 15 over in the driving lane.....followed by another driver whom was in the passing lane going 55 in a 65.
Driver told me that that person just frustrated him and had bottled up traffic for an hour going up Arkansas Hwy 7 (single lane mixed with double lane (passing) zones). I let that driver go. Too bad that was 1998. In 2003 Arkansas passed a law making it illegal to drive in the passing lane when traffic present......
It is not your perogative to enforce or interpret the law for you to exercise. Thats a CLEO's job. You should do everything in your power to have a safe trip for yourself and for your fellow drivers, including moving over into the driving lane and use the passing lane to pass.
That's awesome! :)
By the way, for someone who was in law enforcement, you seem to care little about speed limits and why they exist in the first place. Also, your examples like the woman in labor, etc., are not what I’m talking about. I’m referring to drivers who exceed the speed limit routinely. I’m not trying to enforce the law, but I do insist that tailgating is foolish and dangerous when someone in the left lane is merely waiting for a SAFE opportunity to reenter the right lane and let the fool by.
