Only 2 states disagree, and guess what happens if you follow the rule of keep right. . . you aren't breaking a rule.

Go ahead and use the "normal" speed of traffic in front of the judge. Can you make the case that if you're on a road by yourself doing 100MPH that you are going the "normal" speed of traffic? (Outside of CA)

BTW You are less likely to get a ticket during rush hour because LE wants traffic to keep moving. So your local LE will look the other way as long as traffic is moving. Do the same thing during off peak hours or late at night and you'll likely see blue lights in your rear view mirror.

No one has ever crashed from that, i see that atleast 30 times a day...

Take that drama reasoning and stay home, hitting the brakes is a jerk off move and considered to be and is now a act of road rage and a law....

Leave that stupid advice in your head. . . .


Never seen a patrol car on your ass move to the right of you alerting you to move out of the way, hit your brakes for that too....or do like dick says with his good advice... light up the lens, get that 5 points road rage ticket. . .

READ the rules and follow them. . . . .not some stupid advice...

It's safer if YOU and those idiots just learn to DRIVE and not get in a vehicle again until they know wth they're supposed to do.
"No one has ever crashed from that"?? You're joking right. You mean to tell me out of the millions of accidents that happen every year, not one has been because of two people changing lanes simultaneously like that? You're getting ridiculous now. Even more than when you tried to convince me that doing 50mph down residential side streets was perfectly fine and the same as 30. Even though one carries a 95% chance of fatal injury vs 15%.

Give it a rest. Know your role, stay on the sidelines with the 94% other clueless drivers out there.

I get out of the way if I can, I hate being trapped by people that have to go the exact speed limit.

LIMA,

Quite an impressive record, sir. Your posts are very entertaining to say the least. You are a well known figure on LI in terms of high speed operations, correct? I think I know who you are. Not sure, and I hope you don't mind if I ask here in a public forum...I'll be subtle. You have a Gold Business account at ACME, and you are in endless pursuit of a rare bird, correct? That is you, right?
