I hate left lane camping almost as much as not using blinkers. It’s been frustrating when I’ve seen cops go right by left lane campers and not do shit, so this video is satisfying.
Texas has the same law wher left lane is for passing only so ol white truck guy just doesnt know what he’s doing. Plus no one in Texas drives the speed limit.
First, yeah. Slower traffic should keep right and left lane is for passing slower traffic.
Second, the guy who was going the speed limit got pulled over so people could pass him. The dude going the speed limit. I mean, that is basically saying the speeding helps everyone out because it reduces congestion. Then why not just raise the speed limit? Or is this another instance where we are giving police the discretion to enforce laws as they see fit?
But then again, people are going to speed, so making it where they have a dedicated path to do so creates an overall safer environment. But that is only a problem when people are trying to speed past people who are already going the speed limit, which isn’t being enforced.
I don’t know. The practical application of the law vs the written word irks me.
I agree that 100% that camping in the left lane is problematic, but….
…what about all those people passing on the right, clearly going above the speed limit?
This just seems like populism to me: focusing on an inconvenience while ignoring objective safety issues. Perhaps I’m a little jaded, but I’m willing to bet that this sherriff is an elected official.
He is far too lenient. Left lane campers cause accidents and tons of frustration. Traffic school in the US sucks when they cant teach people how to drive safely.
Another major problem is signage: “Slower traffic keep right”. Nobody considers themselves as slow traffic. A far more effective sign would simply say “Keep right”.
Two weeks ago I honked at a guy who was camping in the left lane. He didn’t like it and proceeded to flash his brights, honk, and give me the finger every chance he got. He ended up passing me on a double solid with oncoming traffic. Idiot was in his work truck. I called his bosses after he passed me
You know its not about following the law of the speed limit, its about what I want and get the fuck out of the left lane. Apparently that’s what passes as fair law enforcement. Speed limits are optional when you are annoying other people.
Maybe all laws should be optional when you might annoy someone else. Going to take too long at the gas station, might as well gun down the attendant everyone else can get through the store faster. It’s not about not committing murder, its about getting out of the store fast enough.
He says that “I was going the speed limit” is a common excuse but that it ‘isn’t about that’ since ‘the left lane is for passing and traffic was bunching up behind hil’.
Isn’t that just condonibg speeding?
If someone *is* driving the speed limit then it is impossible to impede lawful traffic since no one should be going faster than you.

I have this radical idea that they should start teaching the “slow/travel/pass” lane concept in drivers ed.

Hey look, a cop actually doing his job! #rare

The hero we all need.
“Doing gods work.” Hey buddy, god created the left lane camper! 🤦🏼♂️
Lol gods work!!!!
That hat looks annoying, keeps bumping into the headrest.
Not sure how I feel about this.
First, yeah. Slower traffic should keep right and left lane is for passing slower traffic.

Left lane campers… get a stern talking to.
This is like 75% talking. I was hoping for a more cathartic experience.
Send this great man to Canada. We need him.
Standard practice in Europe, especially Germany (No speed limit).
It’s just safer over all.
What a dickhead. This is the same guy that’s probably up your ass when you’re going 90 in the left lane too. No matter how fast it’s never fast enough
I consistently see carpenters and other tradesmen camping. I’m a blue collar worker myself but screw these assholes!!
I agree that 100% that camping in the left lane is problematic, but….
…what about all those people passing on the right, clearly going above the speed limit?

warning aint gonna do shit!
I like how we get to see a cop do regular cop work and its a frigg’n novelty to enforce the rules
“Any weapons in the car?”
“No.”
“Well, you should, it’s dangerous out there.”
Now if only my state would enforce that rule.
Doing God’s work as he campaigns for re-election.
He is far too lenient. Left lane campers cause accidents and tons of frustration. Traffic school in the US sucks when they cant teach people how to drive safely.

God’s work?… lol, I stopped watching there due to righteous indignation syndrome of the officer.
People need to stop calling it the “fast lane” when it’s the passing lane. Be a part of the solution, call it the passing lane.
Boooo should’ve ticketed them!
finally cops going after the real criminals. I am not being sarcastic I want these scumbags locked up

That last guy was begging for a ticket man. The fact he was in a work truck hauling heavy equipment is probably the only thing that saved him.
I camp in the left lane all the time. Then again, I live in a LHT country…
Please for fuck sake do this on I5 in ca.
So honest question.
He says that “I was going the speed limit” is a common excuse but that it ‘isn’t about that’ since ‘the left lane is for passing and traffic was bunching up behind hil’.

Thanks but I’ll continue to follow the UK highway code
This needs to be posted in /r/dashcams
Those idiots think it’s their civic duty to prevent everyone from speeding by intentionally fucking with the flow of traffic.
