QUOTE (John6.7 @ Mar 1 2006, 08:15 PM) What isn't illegal? I think you are talking to the wrong person about that. All I'm trying to saying is that people that don't go with the flow of trafic cause problems. yeah, i would have quoted the two different posts but this version of IPB doesn't allow that. the first sentance is for you. the rest is for whoever said that it was illegal. i forget who. edit: posts, not threads This post has been edited by zetec: Mar 1 2006, 08:25 PM -------------------- WAIT. I'm not finished.

If I look in my rear view mirror and see someone weaving in and out of traffic (which I see often), ill drive right next to someone in the lane next to me. I love to do this on Frankford past 4th street. Everyone drives like maniacs on that street. I like to piss people off when I drive.

I wish they would have just shut the fuck up and played the video. I was expecting this sweet footage of total road rage, but instead I saw one truck *gasp* pull up beside them, and a van clip a stalled car on the side of the road. WOW

actually the lefthand lane is considered a passing lane by law and you can get a ticket if you are purposefully going slow it in...
Oh and also, creating a hazardous situation on the road, like they did, is also illegal, no matter how close to the speed limit you were going. Because there is proof that this was a pre-planned event and not just 5 random strangers, they can be charged with creating a hazardous situation on the road. -------------------- FUCK YOU

How is said situation hazardous? Plus, it's illegal to speed in order to pass someone no matter where you are.

I think this is fucking hilarious. People are always in a goddamn hurry. Unless you KNOW you are going to miss a light speeding is fucking pointles, you'll get to where you're going only a minute or two earlier IF that. |

As well as weaving in and out of traffic and other things. Hmmm... I wonder who the court would side with...

Rabble is actually right, there are laws that deal with impeading the flow of traffic. Loosely written laws lead for much interpertation

QUOTE (basschick @ Mar 1 2006, 10:37 PM) that's not a law in every state, but definitely is in texas Wrong. The actual wording of the law only allows for violations when signs are posted stating left lane for passing only. And then, that only applies to highways, unless the municipality created an ordinance concerning city streets. I consulted my father about this a couple months ago for some reason. However, what Chuck said would allow for ticketing if it could be proven that you were coordinated, but that'd be damn hard to prove in most cases...creating a video of it was pretty damn stupid

Here's something to ponder, in Houston, if you are in the fast lane and not going 90 you will be run off the road. However, there are police up and down the beltway and they never pull these people over, why? Because they are going with the flow of traffic.
What these kids did, while funny, is pretty stupid. They created a major traffic jam that could have been relieved had people been allowed to pass. Doing something like this in Houston would get you shot, literally. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |
