When A-holes collide

[USMC_5-Echo]

Honestly is it worth it to keep driving slow in the passing lane to prove a point, you're the aggressor at this point. People think they're invincible because they're in a car. You wanna ride my ass? Fine I will pull over and let you pass me, go on big boy. You so bad. Ain't worth my life, or my passengers life to get into a road rage incident or an accident. Sometimes being the bigger man means to be a little passive.

"I couldn't move over because there were trucks in the right lane, and I sure as heck wasn't going to speed on a rainy day with the roads being as slick as they were. I was turning left in about a half-mile when this happened."

If she is passing people that are in the right lane then she is abiding by the law and there is no issue. Now if she was driving in the left lane for no reason and not actively passing people, like I see so many drivers do here in Colorado, then technically yes she is impeding traffic and being an all around turd.

Sure by law she was in the right. But sometimes you have to merge over and let some hothead pass you and get there 30 second later, or be tommy tough tits and get beat by a Louisville slugger on the side of the road. There's a place and time to be confrontational, the road is never the place.

What ticket would you give the lady filming?

42-4-1401 Reckless Driving for filming while driving
42-4-1402 Careless Driving

These I would have to look up:
Impeding Traffic for causing traffic flow to slow (yes, even if they are speeding... clear in the video)
Improper use of the passing lane... after the right lane was clear she failed to move over... and then actually stopped in the passing lane

Is that enough?

Not saying somebody is going to write that many tickets, but these are tickets that can be issued.
Will she be convicted of all if taken to court... not a chance. Probably all thrown out.... but she could have been ticketed in Colorado.

In any certain circumstance while driving, most drivers break traffic laws about every 30 seconds to 1 min. If and LEO want to yank someone over, it is just a matter of waiting. I used to give drivers 4-5 different violations before even pulling them over. (most had no idea they were even breaking a traffic law)

[USMC_5-Echo]

Very true and I totally agree. But giving the benefit of the doubt, what if she had just finished passing the trucks but this guy was tailgating her the entire time? I'm not necessarily taking either side but obviously this tough guy couldn't wait long enough for her to get over....maybe he should left 5 minutes earlier if he was in such a hurry

No, not even close. Where is the evidence that she was driving recklessly or carelessly? There was no contact between the vehicles and her video shows that she maintained her lane, and speed, the entire time. Not to mention that she wouldn't be charged with both.

What passing lane? This is surface streets with turn lanes on both sides, intersections, and traffic lights. It wasn't very long before the guy was able to go around her, then he didn't even pass initially. He accelerated and decelerated just to flip her off. It'd be tough to prove she was impeding much of anything, especially considering he was able to be on three sides of her in a relatively short time frame.

No more calls we have a winner.

15 or more under the speed limit is impeding the flow of traffic. Told a CSP that one day as he was dicking around in the right lane, doing 45 on I 25.

Adverse road conditions tend to throw a wrench in this.

Seeing how that is in the "sunshine state" there's no telling how much oil was pulled up to the surface by the rain as well.

Traveling to fast for road conditions sure. On dry pavement pull over or get a ride.

More proof that fords are junk!


Both of the drivers were idiots and at fault in this one. His stupidity when he finally got to pass was all his own fault though, well his and ford for making trucks with pathetic traction control.
