About F'n TIME!! Left Lane Campers: MOVE OVER! or get a ticket!! | |
| Maguyver Offer Upgrade  User ID: 69719679  United States07/07/2016 03:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Slowpokes, beware: More states are cracking down on drivers who dawdle in the left lane. While all states require slow-moving vehicles to keep to the right, laws that went into effect in Tennessee this year, Indiana last year, Georgia in 2014 and Florida and New Jersey in 2013 are setting harsher penalties for dawdling drivers. The new penalties, proponents say, are aimed at reducing congestion, frustration and accidents. Tennessee is one of the latest states to impose harsher punishments, often also called “slowpoke” or “left-lane courtesy” laws. As of the beginning of this month, slow drivers there face a $50 fine for camping out in the left lane. “It’s not the speed on the highway that kills as much the weaving in and out of traffic, which is caused by people who impede the flow of traffic,” the bill’s sponsor, State Representative Dan Howell, told The Chattanooga Times Free Press earlier this year.

Basically a drunk and a shit ass driver who camps in the left lane are equally dangerous and stupid. So I call them in. I suggest everyone do this. Keep right except to pass. ITS THE LAW! |

[link to www.nytimes.com] Another good law... wasted. Why do we need a law on texting while walking when we have an existing jay-walking law? Same goes here, why do we need a left lane camper ticket law, when delay of traffic already exists? It too carries the same 50 fee. Just more pointless papers for you pushers. |

Too stupid to realize that if they merged into the open lane before the very end speeds would stay close to the posted limit through the construction zone instead of slowing to a crawl when they reach the end and feel entitled to be let in. |

I never let those assholes merge in because they had miles to get in the open lane but instead they create a clusterfuck that slows traffic to a crawl. If you get in the other lane early, it's not merging then is it. It's just changing lanes. There's no reason why everyone should have to change lanes early rather than actually merging. If you don't like it, then wait to merge yourself. In fact, if everyone just stayed in the lane that they're already in and the people in the merging lane just merged as the lane starts tapering off, things would flow much more smoothly (hence the term merge). And yes, left lane campers are ridiculous and extremely inconsiderate. Last Edited by Asuralikeproduction on 07/07/2016 06:05 PM |
