2) according to the message they are displaying there is no passing on the right. the sheriff passed me on the right.

3) I like what he did but if I did i it would cost me a fine and points on my license. NO JUSTICE NO PEACE:)

LC - as I understand the law, the speed limit is not the issue. It's more an issue of taking up residence in the left lane, no matter what your speed.

Simple, he was gonna make a left soon. My question is why didn't the cop passing on the right give rubicon a ticket?

Just a thought..

I drive a 2015 nissan sentra.

When I pass the police speed indicators that we have in our south florida neighborhoods..... my car registers 2 to 3 miles under the speed our speedometer is indicating? Its also evident on my GPS speed register.

We called Nissan and were told that they do that deliberatly???? This is supposed to assist drivers to not get speeding tickets....

So before you get mad at someone going 42 in a 45. Check to see if its a nissan. we think were going the correct speed.

In my view 45 mph is too slow. I say this because some drivers insist on doing 35mph or under and often they stay in the left lane and stay abreast with those drivers in the right hand lane. hence many drivers are completley blocked off. This scenario often plays out on 466 frustrating many driver. if the speed limit changed to 35mph then they be going 25-30mph...its a badge of honor



LOE recent posting is going to cause more confusion because you are never going to get 100% of people to be compliant to rules that make little or no sense. People will make the necessary move when it opens. if a guy is going below 45mph in the left lane a driver behind him is likely to go to the right lane to get around this slower driver and then back into the left lane and proceed at 45mph +



If people did follow what the LOE are suggesting 466 would be a bottleneck Monday thru Friday. Morning traffic is heavy for those gong to work as is afternoon when they go home.

After reading a lot of the responses, I think I'll stick with my original observation. :popcorn:

and what would the cop give me a ticket for? I mean I was at the legal speed limit and I couldn't move to the right lane with a cop moving much faster than me on my right. Walter Walter Walter....123 You are certainly feeling your oats. God bless your heart

By the way the difference between a critique and criticism is more than the (q) but that's a lesson for another day.

I agree Rubicon. But I think it still boils down, in many cases, to the driving impaired and self-centered narcissists feeling the surge of power from blocking 60 cars behind them. If they moved to the right the left lane could move at a much more reasonable pace.

I know exactly what the law says. I was the one the posted in 6 month ago when this can up for the umpteen time.

IT IS NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN On multi-lane highways. I understand if I am going 100 mph in the left lane and some ones going 110mph I move over which I do even when I am speeding. No police officer going give anyone ticket driving in the left lane IF THEY ARE NOT impeding traffic period. Why? They have more Important fish to fry.



Now if the law has changed please post the change. I am too lazy to look it up again.

Not sure as I see the problem. :confused:

There was an article in the online paper by the police chief of Lady Lake about road rage. He mentioned the #1 cause was someone impeding traffic in the left lane. Speed was immaterial. So the problem is not that someone may make you several seconds late for your destination, it is a known contributor to road rage which is a more serious problem. Remember that roads like 466 are not our roads, but are used by people young and old daily. I'm certain anyone who drives to and about large cities will note the increase in aggressive driving with a younger mix of drivers. We have some of that mix along these roads. It would serve us well to let these people pass no matter what their or our speed. I have never had a problem getting into the left lane to make a left turn because of faster drivers. I have, however, had problems doing that when someone has "parked" in the left lane and there was a long line of cars behind. It is a daily occurrence on 466 approaching Morse or Rolling Acres to get into the left lane behind someone going slow and I assume they are turning left. Only to see them proceed straight through the intersection continuing to block that lane.

And, it is the law.
