Man pulled over for going too slow

[Ban Hammer 13,366]

Traffic school cops say you're suppose to go with the flow of the traffic. If everyone is going 80mph and you're going 60...you're a menace to society and need to be shot.

True however you better hope you are not the first or last car in line when they decide to turn on the lights

I drive about 100 miles on the freeways everyday (it's why I'm always a little edgy here). You find yourself a good pocket, like a veteran quarterback and you'll have cars all around you to protect you from those cops just lookin to ruin somebody's day.

why do you hate the environment?

ughhhh I would hate that. it was very rare that I ever went faster than 30-ish in LA. I was able to go faster on my way to Pasadena on the 110 right before or right after I hit the tunnels. Then the road gets really curvy so there was no 100mph there I could drive the speed limit at like 3am or on Sundays on the 10.

Everyone on the 405 goes about 75-80. If you're going 65, you might as well take side streets.

yeah the 405 starts to move once you get closer to like grenada hills or down past seal beach. at least that was my experience.

i think i gave that guy the finger this morning on my way to work

why do you hate blue hair drivers?

i hate slow people. therefore, i become aggressive and everybody hates aggressive drivers. i don't want to be hated, so the only way to rectify the situation is to identify and destroy the root cause- slow (careful) drivers.

My brother is 'slow' why do you hate my brother?

The late George Carlin said it best: Anyone driving slower than you is a moron & anyone driving faster than you is a maniac. Personally I wish every douchebag driving too slow in the left lane (normally talking on a cell phone) should be pulled over, ticketed & water boarded, but that's just me B)

What if its not talking on a cell phone but texting on one?

Erik Bonstrom considers himself a safe driver. So imagine his surprise when he was stopped along Route 50 Tuesday evening in Prince George's County, Md., -- for going too slow.

"Coming back on Route 50, the speed limit is 55 and I was pulled over by a Maryland State trooper," Bonstrom said. "When I asked him why, he said I was going too slow and issued me an $80 ticket for going 58 in a 65."

Bonstrom said he tried to reason with the trooper as passing cars whizzed by.

"To me, you are punishing a safe driver and there are many cars that were passing me, and I guess it was just easier to pull me over than the cars that were speeding," Bonstrom said.

Bonstrom said the traffic stop is more puzzling because it came just yards before a 65 mph sign. He said he believes he was pulled over for going 58 mph on a part of the road that is actually a 55 mph zone, not 65 mph like the trooper claims.

A Maryland State Police representative said they are looking into the matter and plan to have a response within 24 hours.

Bonstrom said he plans to fight the ticket in court.

"If I was wrong, if I was speeding, then you got me and I'm wrong," Bonstrom said. "But the fact that I don't believe I'm wrong and that I wasn't breaking any laws -- that's why I'm fighting it."

I bet this idiot was driving 58 in the LEFT lane.

hey the cop had to meet his ticket quota..

I don't know about MD, but in CA, the law is slower traffic must use the right lane. If you are going the speed limit (65) in the left lane of the freeway, and the rest of the traffic is going 75, you can be ticketed for impeding traffic. Doesn't matter that you were going the speed limit. General rule of thumb: if people are passing you on the right, you're probably going too slow for the lane you are in.

I agree 100%... if you are in the left lane & you're getting passed by a bunch of cars get your dumb azz over to the right.

He forgot to mention he was driving in the left lane.

[/size]KEEP RIGHT EXEPT FOR PASSING

He had not passed anyone in 2 years.

Left lane drivers are a menace
