Traffic flow, you aren’t the law, just move over, no matter how much your need to play boss of the world.

Here is what the cops have to say on a thread where they have been discussing the lane blockers.

“”Recently, I was traveling south at about 75 mph when I came upon a guy in the far left lane doing about 70. Speed limit is 70. There’s 3 lanes. I stayed on the guy’s a-ss for about 2 miles. I flashed him twice, nothing. I didn’t want to haul balls, but he was starting to get all kinds of cars backing up. He had 2 lanes available to his right. Normally, I’ll keep it at 78-80 to keep the flow going. This guy wouldn’t move. Finally, I turned my lights on, he began to pull over to the left, I motioned -—> and he got the hint, started moving over, got into the ‘slow’ lane, I turned my lights off, got into the middle lane and continued about my business. I think the guy was perplexed as WTF just happened. So, from there on out, I continued the 22 miles south until I hit the county line, and you think anyone even dared to get into the left lane? It was awesome. I can’t imagine what everyone behind me were thinking.””

"Traffic flow, you aren’t the law, just move over, no matter how much your need to play boss of the world."

If I am going the speed limit, and feel so inclined to travel in the left lane, I will. And I will do so with total, serene disregard for the assholes who think they are on the indy 500 trying to drive through my rear windshield.

You are not the boss of the world either. If you have to get somewhere, leave on time. Don't berate people trying to be safe by following the speed limit.

And the quote...Some cop disregarding the speed limit, harassing someone who is not disregarding the speed limit, and glorying in the fact that he was able to scare every other driver in the vicinity by doing so. And if past posting history is anything to go by, you don't even like cops. Unless they are addressing one of your pet peeves, I guess.
