As someone who has a daily commute in city traffic... This is the most satisfying thing I have ever seen in my life.

Would be better if he got a ticket for impeeding the flow of traffic. People will keep being stupid drivers when there is no consequence.

People do not use the left lane for its intended purpose too often.

We need this in Ireland. Three lane motorway, people are bumper to bumper in the passing lane and middle, nobody in the other lane

We have signs all up and down the highway that say KEEP LEFT UNLESS OVERTAKING and morons still plod along slowly there, so frustrating!!!

My favorite part of this is where the cameraman WHILE DRIVING WHILE FILMING is like "oh look a hawk."

That is a paraglider. Note the upside-down U-shape, and the uniform width of the "wings".

Same in Oz except they’re right lane hogs. Shouldn’t have a licence to drive the scumbags
LifeHasManyDoorsEddBoy
It's great because I have to drive on a 70km/h road that is 70 for about 5ks, everyone in both lanes always do 60 or less no matter what....
GeorgePotompkin
You'd think if any road would have considerate drivers, the yellow brick road would be it.
LifeHasManyDoorsEddBoy
And no matter what speed people in the left lane are doing on the freeway, the right lane will only be going 5ks faster, no point overtaking
CrypticRuin
I've heard in some countries a left turn signal in the left lane means move and if they don't it's a ticket. Indicate you are driving faster
SuplexAlot
Fistouille
I wonder if the asshat knew what was wrong or if they just thought they were being pulled over
ilavalamp
Funny thing is they probably saw the cop in their rearview and made sure to keep under the limit. Not going any slower than the van beside..
Air36723
probably just thought they were being pulled over for something, then was like wtf just happened??? when the cop turned off the lights
Bloodandpheromones
I’ve watched cops do this on Route 80 in NJ. Pennsylvania drivers are the worst for just parking in the left lane and going 50.

This is apparently somewhere in NJ.
yeahokno
I'm pretty sure this is on rt 80. I think it's right before Denville on 80 east

Is that Washington State Patrol? I've heard they're doing emphasis patrols on left lane campers. Illegal in this state.
MrStarkLord
They have to be because every idiot in Oregon CONSTANTLY camps in the left lane.
judodonono
Love it. I swear this is the root of most traffic jams when there's no actual accident.
tyty1111
NJ State Police on the NJ turnpike. When you’ve been pulled over as much as I have, you know every marking on those cars
Thneitis
No. I don’t think it is. The logo on the side is too big
Tomadzo
I’m in OR now and they do it here too. Literally half gap in right lane and everyone in the left. I just pass em all on the right now
FamousestAnus
Be careful...the blind spot is bigger on the right...hence passing on right being illegal in some countries/states (Germany for sure)
Tomadzo
(Dammit) ...half mile gap...

Im from NJ and I saw an officer do that a few weeks ago!! Not that dramatic but scooched a left lane rider to the middle so he could pass.
Chriso325
Aye, it is. Every time I see this, it makes me hate them just a bit less... just a bit.
drowninginthesouth
NJ? They stop you for everything.
TachyonCode
With NJ's history of being right next to NY, a major crime capital, I'm not surprised the cops are over-activist there.
STINKPICKEL
I wish, lately we have an influx of drivers that just stop in lane for any thing, they think they're still in their 3rd world country. 1/2

Was the slower traffic still going over the speed limit, but not 15 over (aka reckless driving)? If so, your friends are in the wrong.
lemonsherbet
No idea, but officer's discretion not mine
Primatebuddy
If I am already going limit+20 trying to pass a long line, and some joker comes in at 30 over behind me, am I a camper if I don't move?
bamcockseverywhere
Is there slower traffic on your right? Then you're fine.
Metalhead47
Technically you're "slower traffic" at that point and should move over to let him by. Probably wise since he's crazier than you anyway.
STINKPICKEL
Yes you are, but just pull over let em go, it's good having a decoy running ahead to draw out the troopers, Trooper Bait as I call them. lol
cancerriddenlung
He said he was +20mph and already passing a long line. I’m gonna have to say no
STINKPICKEL
Okay then if he keeps the lead position, he becomes the trooper bait, it's that simple.
cancerriddenlung
The problem is the guy coming up hot behind him...and riding his ass...and not having an ideal way to get over... Also...sometimes it's the
manowar669
Is it camping if they're doing the speed limit? Because a lot of people call them campers if they're not going 15+ over the limit.
JustAGuyy
Yes
Metalhead47
In WA state, yes. The law is "keep right except to pass."
0I230
The left lane is supposed to be for passing, not travel, to begin with. Going slow in the left lane is pointless, just go slow in the right.
todayok
Wrong. There's no law that says that.Only "slower traffic move right" laws which DO NOT allow speeding.Going the limit is legal in any lane.
JustAGuyy
Wrong
Lamech777
Get the fuck out of the left lane, todayok
bamcockseverywhere
It's obstructing the flow of traffic. In many states, following the flow of traffic is preferred in court to deliberately slowing traffic.
todayok
Sigh. This same video gets reposted every few months. And no one has ever found a law requiring people to move over for speeders.
HalfPintKatie
I commuted to Toronto for 20+ years and the ppl who camp in their lane not doing an appropriate speed is enraging!
AdonisInGlasses
Appropriate according to who? You don't set the speed limit.
sdeba
Appropriate according to traffic conditions. If you're not passing someone, move over
HalfPintKatie
Exactly!! Thank you considerate driver!
AdonisInGlasses
Go around if you want to go faster. You don't dictate how I drive.
sdeba
Imagine a moving escalator. There is nothing wrong with standing, but moving over lets the people who want to walk do so.
Lamech777
Get the fuck out of the left lane, AdonisinGlasses
BarfTittiesGalore

Metalhead47
Don't be. No one pays any attention to the law.
fryedman
Sure they do. its just a minimum
BarfTittiesGalore
South Florida here. These fucking maniacs are ruthless. At any given time, there's someone doing either 45 in left or 160 in the far right.
AncientSeraph
The stay-your-lane style you have in the US continues to baffle me, especially since left lane is apparently the exception.
Metalhead47
How do you mean?
AncientSeraph
Stay-your-lane means you usually maintain lane and speed, even if that means overtaking someone on the right, right?
Metalhead47
Do they never do that in Europe?
AncientSeraph
Nope, overtaking on the right is illegal and you should always be in the rightest free lane.
IReactToCommentsInMemesAndGifs
WTF is going on?

The cop is strongarming the asshole out of the passing lane (even though it looks like he was passing someone).

thats funny because I find that Prius drivers overcompensate by driving like they're formula one drivers and cut you off constantly

or old fucking mexican lady who cant see over the steering wheel and slowly swirves in and out of your lane nearly clipping you at 30 MPH

I believe they drive so damn slow to keep in the green to save gas, but i never understand their need to be in fast lanes going 55.

Ugh they’re the wooooorrrssstttt.

In FL they're going to pass no blocking traffic in the fast lane law.

Passing Lane
IamNotFunnyNeitherIsMyUserName
Seriously, every fucking country. Though not necessarily the left lane, depends on what side of the road you drive on.
xSquirrelly
In some states it is only an overtaking lane and driving it in without passing is illegal.
ilovemyboobs
The closer to the center of the road the faster that lane may travel.
todayok
What are you even talking about? You "may" travel the speed limit in any lane. Speeding is illegal in all lanes, regardless of passing.
ilovemyboobs
you and I are both correct.
todayok
And there's the thing. People desperately want to believe that "passing" is an excuse for speeding. No law allows speeding.
ilovemyboobs
Except the flow of traffic rule. If everyone is going 75 in a 60...you go 75.
CosmicPuddytat
Yes. Lane closest to the centre is the fastest. Should be used for overtaking only.
ultravioletultraviolence
center of the two-direction road that is.
LordDolan
Different for Australia!
TachyonCode
Or speeding to your destination at 10-30mph higher than the posted limit. We Americans use it for that all the time.
TachyonCode
Although generally we call it "the left lane" not "the lane closest to center". That's confusing from the perspective of the side you're on.
CosmicPuddytat
I was generalising because of different countries driving on different sides. For us in the U.K., the right lane is fastest.
TachyonCode
Okay, but I was complaining because "the lane closest to center" on a single side of the highway is, you know, not the left one.
CosmicPuddytat
Or that too. My mum always told me: never be the fastest car on the road (if you’re driving over the limit)
TachyonCode
Good advice. I used it just the other day to avoid playing cop-catcher, in fact. Of course I'm good at knowing where cops camp out, too.
Listeningtokpop
That's weird bc I have to use the exit on the left to get home. So, nobody is ever to use the left lane for anything but overtaking?
BDF1838
You should stay out of it unless overtaking, until you're close to your exit.
Listeningtokpop
So stay out until you’re in the lane is the legal way? Wtf?
Listeningtokpop
Should be used for overtaking ONLY is the argument. I say that’s bullshit considering there are exits to the left.
BDF1838
Nobody disagrees with you. Nobody is arguing for such an absolute interpretation.
Itaru
Left lane is apparently for passing only in the US
PoorBoyChevelle
Not in a legal sense in every state, but good practice.
Soitora
Most european countries aswell
Katateochi
same in UK, only it's the right lane for us. inner most lane, is for passing.
ohhhhhhello
Most highways/motorways in Oz have signs saying keep left (‘right’) unless overtaking. Though I’ve never heard of anyone getting booked
moonshadowkati
It changes from state to state. It can trip up even American drivers from out of state.
Coolbacca
Wait, in what lane is the left not for passing on highways??
pandorafalters
California allows you to travel normally in the inside lane, with a requirement to give way to passing traffic.
Coolbacca
I mean you pretty much just defined a passing lane...
iloveserotonin
South Carolina as well. It just says "slower traffic keep right" and as far as I know, there is no law enforcing it as a passing lane
iloveserotonin
Or at least it's not enforced at all if there is a law
moonshadowkati
Maryland, for example. We're only now considering legislation for it. Go north one state to Pennsylvania and you can be fined for it.
Coolbacca
Well that explains at least one of the reasons why I yell myself sore at so many people when driving 295
NeerjaTripathi
Not everywhere in US.
redditRocksMySocks
Yes everywhere. Enforced? Not everywhere, but taught in driver’s education everywhere.
outtamyleague
Not in California - http://www.mercurynews.com/2016/08/12/roadshow-on-a-california-freeway-is-it-illegal-to-pass-on-the-right/
LifeIsARollercoaster
It is not illegal to pass on the right but that doesn’t change the fact that the leftmost lane is the designated passing lane
NeerjaTripathi
OMG! Live and learn. Thank you. I usually avoid the left most lane anyway because the speeding scares me. Will be extra careful now.
carsandpibblesarelife
Referred to as passing lane. Not for actually cruising or driving, rather just overtaking and moving back over.
ChillaAquila
Same in the UK. Angsts me when people refer to them as the fast or slow lanes
carsandpibblesarelife
Grew up in Austria, blew my mind when only a few people in the U.S. knew about that.
lilmookieesquire
IDGAF if you're going 251mph in the passing lane. If there are cars coming up on you, move over and let them pass.
abcEasyAs123
sulfuratus
I think you should give a fuck if someone is 150-200 mph over the speed limit.
NaughtButOne
A person doing the posted speed limit has no obligation to yield to faster traffic behind them.
lilmookieesquire
Then the faster cars weave around through slower traffic.
Anonaru
You're obligated to yield to passing traffic in the left lane, you impeding them is more dangerous than them going 5-10 over
NaughtButOne
A person should not be in the left lane unless they are passing. They do not have to yield to anyone behind them if they are at speed.
Lamech777
Get the fuck out of the left lane, NaughtButOne
Anonaru
If you are lane riding you likely aren't passing, seemed like your previous post indicated riding the lane, not simply passing
NaughtButOne
I was responding to mookie's suggestion that you must yield the lane to faster traffic regardless of your own speed.
