left lane law?

No. if a policeman has someone pulled over or an accident has happened, all you need to do is slow down and move over as far as you can but continue on unless you are flagged to stop. It's for the safety of the cop and who ever they pulled over and you too. As far as the lanes being full and nowhere to go, just slow down and look for a place to pull over ----or into another lane if you can. I just don't want you hitting someone LOL

ih no nott hat I just get stuck where I am and I hate it!

What you do is at the first opportunity pass them and put your directional on. In the midst of them cussing you out they will realize that they have theirs on and shut it off. That is when you shut yours off and they will get it. Same thing with High beams. I once was travelling in the wee hours of the morning and was very tired. It was a long boring stretch of highway. I had my high beams on and totally forgot that I did when I came up behind another car. All of a sudden the car in front of me pulled over and let me by. I thought nothing of it until he came up behind me with his high beams on and as I was cussing about it, noticed mine.

I think it's been a law now for many years but noone has ever enforced it. I was having a heart attack in an ambulance and one pickup would not get out of the way---------I could see my BP dropping and said, I'm dying----- the driver, bless her heart , hit the siren, sped up and swiped that driver off the road. I never heard about what happened to him but did see he didn't turn over but do think she reported him as I know she got his tag number. I made it ok but still it's time drivers woke up , turned on or off their signals of their intentions to turn or not. Getting mad does no good but run up your own BP Take a tag number, call the police and report him. Hang in there. Nothing is ever perfect but if we work together we can make it better.

I was taught to give courtesy to all drivers and learned the rules too. My grandparents raised me and cuz of a generation gap, they made sure they knew the rules and taught them to me. But, we do have those who are "above" the rules and think they do not pretain to them. It's sad too cuz so many accidents could be prevented if we all paid attention to the rules of the road.

The only reason we have to have these laws is because some people just don't use their common sense.

Yea it agree with u, sid556. LOL

The second law does make sense. The first one seems to be a personal law most don't quite understand. It's simple. Drive in the right lane if you a slower driver. The left lane is used for passing or emergency vehicles to get to their destination,either chasing a trouble maker or ambulance. Also, obey the speed limit. If you drive too slow you can get ticketed too. Got to stay with the flow of traffic or get run over or be run over. Moving over as far as possible to avoid hitting a police officer or the driver of the other car makes sense to me. After all the driver of the car could have just had trouble the the officer was/is helping him out. It only takes half a brain for most to understand and those who do not need to be taken off the roads.

It's only common sense to me that pulling over for the police when they have someone stopped is a good idea. I have encountred many who drive like 40-50 in the left hand lane and won't move to the right hand lane and then traffic gets boggled and a wreck is bound to happen. I try my best to pass and get back in the right hand lane. So now we all know and we should all pass this along.

People around here are pretty good at getting out of the way. Ir helps now that the emergency light comes on at the traffic lights so even if you don't here or see it you know an ambulance, fire truck, or police car is approaching with flashing lights so you can start looking around to try and figure out where the emergency vehicle is comeing from and prepare for it.

No the fines have become a necessity to keep slow drivers from camping in the left lane. The left lane is for emergency vehicles and I've been a passenger in an ambulance where it was life threatening and no one would pull over to let my ambulance thru. I made it as you can tell, but still the left lane is used to pass and turn left and for emergency vehicles and not particualarly in that order. The fines are good with me, I don't pick my nose at stop lights either tho. Just wait til you are in an ambulance and you are looking at your last breath, then tell me the fines are too steep. it's time we Americans pay attention to the rules and there should be stiff penalities for those who don't pay attention.

I got this out of my local paper . You can pass in the left lane but do not camp there ! it's only for passing and turning left. The turn signals are put there for a reason-------------and I wish all drivers paid attention and use them. Just last week I watched traffic not stop for a highway patrol who was chasing a car---------people need to learn to get out their way. I also have seen people who will not move over for an ambulance with its' lights going ninety to nothing-------I was the sick person in that very ambulance----- a heart attack. I know all about husbands and stop sons. Got 'em both but even reading this article they won't listen. They will end up getting fined and I can do nothing about it. Just pass along the info and if I can I'll get the link and send it back to you.

Yeah, well stay at home, you are fine LOL, but really read some of these responses and see what people say. unsafe and not law abiding. Still there will be some who agree.

These people who choose to camp in the left lane are the reasons for many accidents. My husband suffers road rage and good Lord I hate it when he comes up to a car in the left lane and he needs to pass !!! It' time people learned which lane is used for emergency vehicles and got out of the way !

You are so right, the rules should be enforced. I understand where you are coming from too and doubt there is one person in mylot who has not been faced with the same thing. Drive safely.
