Absolute Power Corrupts… Awesomely

Of course, the killjoys among us might point out that the police officer endangered multiple lives while clearing the lane so he could speed with impunity. He frightened a driver who was not breaking the law, he increased the likelihood that one of the cars around him would react in a manner which could injure someone (like slamming on the brakes without warning) and he starts off the video by tailgating the Civic ahead to a level rarely seen outside of Spec Miata racing. Oh well. If we want this omelet of consequence-free reckless highway operation by “trained” cops, we’ll have to break a few eggs.

Blocking the left lane is against the law in many states. And aside from the issue of being illegal or not, the practice of blocking the left lane is rude and offending to other motorists. As a member of the Emergency Medical Services, it also hampers our response times especially when we are caught at a bad time (e.g. we are still on board our privately owned vehicles when a call comes in).

And if the driver doesn't know how to react when a fast vehicle is approaching from behind (it's no rocket science, just pull over to the right), he has no place driving a motor vehicle on the road.

LOL, let's give the Civic the benefit of the doubt that he's at the speed limit level and the cop just wants some fun :naughty2:

It's actually against the law in many states (and even here in the Philippines on the SLEX and NLEX) to stay in the left lane if you are not overtaking.

Blocking traffc is dangerous. Driving slowly in the left lane exposes you personally to danger from overtaking vehicles. And it puts the entire rest of the road in your blind spot. It's easier to see traffic behind you on the left side than the right. I scold our drivers when they stay in the left lane for no reason.

It also hampers the movment of emergency service vehicles like police, fire and ambulance units. Though it's about par for the course here in the Philippines... as I see many idiots who don't know that you're not supposed to block an ambulance. Even if it will cause you to lose a few places in traffic... you always, always... ALWAYS... pull aside when you see an emergency response vehicle behind you.

That Civic driver was an idiot. Cop behind you... PULL THE F*** OVER.

This have been a problem with me. lately, i went to Nueva Ecija, using NLEX.
Speed limit is 100 kph. so, was on the outer lane. then overtake, then back to lane (being an abiding driver seeing that left most lane is for overtaking only). then weave out again to over take, then back again. done done many times which I asked myself, why not stay on the innermost lane all the time, anyway, you are overtaking?
If you are doing 100 kph (as the speed limit), you are at the max speed limit. My question is, do you have the right to hog the inner lane? Aren't those going faster than you violating the speed limit which is in turn also violating the set law?
who violates what? As for my case, isn't it more dangerous for me, weaving in and out of the overtaking lane?
