  15. Re:Please give me "get off the left-lane stupid" m on US To Standardize Car App/communication Device Components · · Score: 1

    You do realize that he's complaining about people engaging in illegal practices, right? Where I live, cops regularly enforce the "Left lane for passing only" signs that were posted within the last year on our main freeway. If you're in the left lane and not passing the guy next to you, you'll earn yourself a citation pretty quickly because what you're doing is not only illegal, it also endangers everyone else on the road by causing cars to pile up behind you, thus increasing the likelihood of an accident significantly.

    Your chief calling while driving is not to abide by the law, but to drive safely. Following the law is the best way to drive safely in about 99% of situations, but the laws are inadequate at times, and it is not your responsibility to try and enforce them against others, since your doing so will more often than not result in a more dangerous situation than if you had left the other driver alone. Every cop I know will tell you that it's okay to speed up beyond the limit in order to pass someone if doing so will result in a safer driving situation for the people involved. And at least where I live, failing to do so means that you need to drop back and get out of the left lane if you want to be law-abiding. Either way, it's safer for everyone involved.

    incorrect. the best way to drive safely in about 99% of situations on a normal highway: 1. get in the leftmost lane (on 2+ lane highway). note this may be illegal but is statistically proven to be the safest lane of travel. (I don't have the statistic handy, sorry) 2. do 85th percentile speed, anything else is dangerous. note this may be illegal as well if everyone is driving over/under the speed limit 3. allow enough braking distance to not hit the car in front. this may be found by using the "3 second rule" but varies by your vehicles inertia, stopping distance, reaction time, and how well the tires and brakes are working at that moment in time 4. and stay alert. (no other point has proven to be more important than that.)
