So wrong.. nothing gives you the right to break the law

Isn't impeding traffic in the left lane breaking the law?

The Stig

3/6/15 12:15pm

Even if it is, breaking another law in response is not the right response

buhler08

It varies by state

We've all seen how you drive, buddy.

Well played.

The Stig

3/6/15 12:22pm

So, the left lane is the "you're breaking the law" lane?

Blue Print

3/6/15 12:39pm

If I am speeding, the answer is a solid, "No."

The Stig

3/6/15 12:50pm

Except he wasn't talking of a situation where he is impeding traffic flow

In the state of Utah that is incorrect. The slow person not passing is in the

Thats nice, but here is the law, and thats not what the law says:

Pretty sure in his OP, he states drivers that are impeding traffic

ManicBlue

Maybe I misread him But the law is pretty specific that slower drivers must

cheezedawg

3/6/15 12:47pm

On reading Utah's law, I think it is written somewhat ambiguously

You apparently missed the part in the OP where Stanton said (parphrased)

ByuMba90

3/6/15 12:40pm

he should still make his intentions clear since many Utah drivers are clueless

ManicBlue

3/6/15 12:43pm

Of course you are correct on both counts -- intention and many UT drivers.

it's funny how people who like to speed don't want others telling them how to

But it's up to them to police yours? Tailgating someone to make them go faster

I know the law, and I agree that the person should get out of the way

I agree.

Just tap your breaks for a second when they are a foot away

The fast lane isn't a travel lane, stay on the slow person side!

cougarnerd

3/6/15 12:19pm

As long as you are passing someone then yes.

You're reading off the little numbers on your speedometer, not the big numbers,

SoCalCoug

The best deterrent for tailgaters is a nice little brake tap. Works every time.

Always a good idea to amp up the road rage a bit more

Do you always use the most extreme scenario possible?

No only ones I've seen or heard about

ManicBlue

Never hurts to be aware someone is coming up fast behind you and start looking

Yeah! That goes for all of you on here!

Is it your job to enforce the speed limit ? No ... you should obey the law too.

ManicBlue

Not trying to enforce the speed limit. Just don't want the inconvenience/risk

ManicBlue

1) Yes-in Utah 2) Tailgating/RRage causes accidents, not driving in left lane

HawkCat

3/6/15 7:59pm

It's not just in Utah ... pretty universal that the left lane is for passing.

ManicBlue

3/6/15 8:22pm

Left lane is for passing in all states but Utah is in the minority of states

HawkCat

3/6/15 8:50pm

You're absolutely wrong

ManicBlue

3/6/15 10:36pm

Yes, I do pass those going below the speed limit quite regularly

HawkCat

3/6/15 10:43pm

It's not about speed, it's about interrupting the flow of traffic.

3/6/15 11:21pm

I fail to see how it's stupid to avoid sub-limit traffic and poor road surfaces

HawkCat

3/6/15 11:29pm

No, it is people like you who cause the additional accidents.
