WSP cracking down on Left lane campers

http://www.king5.com/news/local/Left...117754594.html

I have been waiting and waiting and waiting for the WSP to crack down on them slow muttaphuk'rs.
Now lets see if this will reduce the majority of A'holes who causes a line in the fast lane.

^^^Nah, they afraid to get shot. So they would rather follow a G

Ive noticed that Flashing headlights or using the left blinker will just make the guy in front slam on the brakes...WTF
So I would rather follow a guy going 55, if the other lanes are going the same speed

he's referring to the WSP as AAA w/a gun, same as CHP down south

but yeah I call B/S on this so-called 'crackdown'
its like one of those 'Click it or Ticket' endeavors that shouldn't even need enforcing to begin with

I believe what you meant to say is it was "a political statement". Just to give someone a happy feeling even though they are supposed to already do it.

Maybe I'm just overly cynical but it seems to me like the main function of the state patrol is harassing people and extracting more taxation in the form of completely unnecessary and unneeded "speeding tickets" from the populace under the rouse of "keeping us safe.".....

How is going 6 mph over the limit endangering anyone on a sunny day with a clear road??? Going the speed limit blocks traffic and endangers people!!!

You have a body builder get under the car. Then have him bench press the car up off its wheels. Then you get AAA to do the rest of the work

Awesome! you guys are following in my country's footsteps!
No means to offend, but driving here in the states on the freeways is just retarded;
In Canada, drivers will always be in the right lane unless passing, all the trucks/slower vehicles are always in the right lane, and grandmas/shank would be in the right lane too

The left lane is always free to pass whomever you please. It's a really nice feeling.
Traffic is a lot faster moving, and really fun to be honest, my last trip up there, on the freeway everyone was going 80+ mph im like holy **** these people drive fast, its just there is no traffic so theirs no need to be speeding up to 80 just to get caught behind some slow guy making you go back down to 60.

Also seymore your quite correct, their are lots of study's showing that slower drivers cause more accidents than going roughly 10 over, now im not saying its always safe to be going over the limit, but statistically it does cause fewer accidents (on freeways) so I've heard anyway.

I cant speak for all the slow drivers, but most of them that are in the left lane are not caring who is wanting to get in front of them. So if your riding their ***, they will slam on there brakes to get you off of it. But needless to say, they probably just caused a major back up, if not a serious accident. And they probably dont even know that, cus they are in there own little world.

For those that dont want a ticket, move over and let the faster person worry about that. Geez, do I need to say more lol


I wish the left lane rule was like Canada, France, Europe or whatever country follows that rule of "left lane for passing only"
