Yes.[/quote]

Agree.

If you are doing less than 80 and in the left lane, with anyone else anywhere near the highway… You are a DBag.

[i]Looking for ways to resume tours? OK, how about announcing tours will resume and apologize for being a dick? Would that be asking too much?

Yes, you can make sure. You?re the president, for crying out loud. Walk out today and announce tours will resume. How fucking difficult is this?"[/i]

I loled.

Here we have a man that has the power to execute an American Citizen, with a remote control plane, but is bitching and moaning he can’t get the tours going again? lol, please.

Are the stories about Queen FLOTUS having two grammy winners at her birthday party true? I’m sure cutting that expense could fund the tours for a few weeks…[/quote]

What about the Children? Obama must not really care about the Children.[/quote]

I thought the White House belonged to the people?? It is not owned by the president or the administration?

I’m sure this is Bush’s fault…anybody wanna bet that is the reason they give for shutting down the tours?

No, no, no, you don’t want to disagree on this one. Left lane banditry is vile. It will earn you a special place in hell.

Not only that but it instantly labels you as a stupid driver.[/quote]

I think people that drive 20mph over the speed limit are stupid drivers. I don’t care what lane they’re in :slight_smile:

About god damn time. SHti anything under 80 in the left lane, unless it is snowing, and I’m talking blizzard.

Holy shit…call the fucking news corps…Beans and I AGREE 100% ON AN ISSUE!!!

The war is over

Fucking seriously…if you are not passing anybody GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE LEFT HAND LANE…that shit drives me nuts…Maryland drivers are especially awful…

her excuse is wind? Was she driving a fucking semi-truck? When the hell have you ever said OH MAN ITS WINDY, BETTER SLOW IT DOWN? She is a left lane idiot, pure and simple. Probably yapping on her cell phone and not paying a damn bit of attention to the 50 or so cars she is holding up behind her.

Truthfully, if there is ever a situation that warrants hellfire drone strikes on private citizens not engaged in combat, this would be it…

And in other news. MD cop gives ticket for going 63 in a 65 mile an hour zone during heavy winds. Apparently in MD going less than the speed limit in the left lane is a ticketable offense…wow.[/quote]

Impeding the orderly flow of traffic is an offense in most states actually. I just wish more cops would enforce it.

Or hellfire drones…

As far as I know, that’s out of courtesy, not law. I’ll have to check. The point is it’s absurd.[/quote]

Not sure about the specific stretch of road in question, but there are plenty of roads with minimum speed limits posted and even if you aren’t doing anything particularly against the law, you can be ticketed for interrupting the flow of traffic and/or wreckless driving. IMO, this makes drunk driving laws somewhat pointless.

As anyone with a learner’s permit will tell you, “Driving is a privilege.”
[/quote]

Ya, but the minimum is usally like 20 less, not 2. [/quote]

Quit hogging the left lane. If the right lane is open move your happy butt over. This is probably what got the person in trouble. Passed on the left and stayed there.[/quote]

:slight_smile: That’s not the point!! (I’m gonna keep hammering this all day).

We all go over the speed LIMIT, but there is no justification for it. She was doing 2 miles under, and was ticketed, which is absurd. [/quote]

I agree it is absurd for the ticket, but it is also absurd when someone is going 2 mph under the speed limit in the left hand lane. Slow traffic keep to the Right. In Texas if someone passes you on the right when you are in the left hand land going under the speed limit, but above the minimum, you can get a ticket for being in the left hand lane. [/quote]

What if she was going 65, the speed limit, [u]do you expect her to move right?[/u] What if she was doing 75 and someone wanted to pass her because they are going 80, [u]should she mover right?[/u] [/quote]

Yes because it is a PASSING LANE. The quicker you Maryland drivers can get that through your heads, the more likely I am to check out this new bar in Rockville I’ve been hearing about.

hahahahah

Yes, without question we see eye to eye on this one.

Okay, okay, the word EXPECT, was a poor one. How about is she REQUIRED to move right LEGALLY…shesssss, some drivers.

(MD drives suck by the way).

She wasn’t ticketed just for driving under the speed limit; she was ticketed for hogging the left lane. The left lane is supposed to be reserved as a passing lane in many areas.[/quote]
I get so furious with this. IF, as it is in Texas hwys, POSTED, left lane for passing only, and you don’t, you earned the ticket.
I don’t know how they would factor in traffic density or how long you have to pass…I mean. if I am going 5mph faster than the rt hand lane guy, it’ll be a slow pass but I am passing.

and here in lies the problem. What if shes’s doing 63, you are doing 64, and the guy behind you wants to do 80 and is up your ass. There are only 2 lanes, then what?

Also, in this ladies defense, not only is 95/495 traffic awful (rated worst in the country almost annually), but people are flying in ALL the lanes. There are also a number of on ramps of the left side of 95 so it’s entirely possible she was there because of the way the road is and couldn’t get over. People in MD drive like complete assholes, for the record.

Usmc, I’mm convinced many people drive in the left lane because they think to themselves, “This speed is JUST fine for me so it should be fine for everyone else too! Who cares if they can’t pass me?” They are arrogant imbeciles.[/quote]

Or just Oblivious idiots.
