What do you two mean? It is a law that you can't drive in the left lane on road ways where the speed limit is 65 or more you can only use the lane for passing
"Preventing road rage, collisions, and deaths". Are you saying that it is a problem in the states that drivers who want to break the speed limit, cannot break the speed limit due to lane hogs doing the speed limit, which results in them purposely colliding with other drivers and ramming them off the road? If so, that is some fucked up 3rd world country shit.
Well I'm goddamn sure that guy who rushed his pregnant wife to the hospital totally hit you on purpose just because you wouldn't let him pass. :o) If you're going to follow the law then do it, stay in the correct lane and don't stick your nose into other people's lives and priorities.@@andrewbieny4564
It makes an easier drive for them as they force everyone else to merge with each other and the traffic merging on to the highway. It guarantees a wide open lane to them.

@@TonyStark-wr7ob you wanting to speed has no bearing on my driving. If you want over, then get over. Going the speed limit even in the left lane (not the fast lane) is not illegal. However, tailgating, speeding, and having road rage are illegal.
The Police allow the passing so they can catch all the speeders! Things are not always as they appear. If it is too good to be true, it is too good to be true.

@@Dr.Acula76 yes he is. Cop is a slang term for any law enforcement officer. City Police Officers, State Troopers, Sheriffs and Sherriff Duputies, are all cops. I would argue that Federal Marshalls, DEA Agents, IRS Agents, and FBI agents also qualify as cops, but some people would argue otherwise because they are more specialized. Border Patrol and ICE agents are also a bit iffy. But Sheriffs are for sure cops. The only difference between Sheriffs/Duputies and City Police Officers is who they report too. City reports to the city government, Sheriffs/Duputies report to the county government. They do the exact same job. A sheriff is equivalent to the Chief of Police for a given city. They both bring suspects to county, state, or federal court depending on the crimes in question.

Agreed. But I don't see how the ticket would hold up in court. If he was doing the speed limit (which the cop didn't deny), then those he was "impeding" were breaking the law. I hate a left lane hog, but it's hard to convict someone who was doing the speed limit.

Exactly what I was going to say. The entirety of America needs to hear this like those people going on the left lane 40 mph on a 50mph speed limit just because they gonna make a left turn to Walmart

Michigan State Troopers make a concerted effort around holidays to enforce left lane riders on the interstates, because traffic is so much heavier already and road rage can quickly turn into unsafe situations and even accidents, which slows down traffic and compounds the frustration levels.

@@austx23idk if there is a law, but this is like a general understanding in America, left lane is for drivers that drive fast and like the cop said, passing. Is like driving over the spped limits for 5-10 miles, literally 90% of the people drives over the limit but no cops will pull you over even tho it’s “the law”, some people are just very stubborn and have no awareness
I didn’t want some people don’t want to speed limits that’s OK but don’t take it out on the guy driving the speed limit because nobody else wants to follow the law.
Thank you, sir. The highways would move along much better if more people had a cooperative spirit and used the left lane for passing only. For people staying in the left lane continuously for 100 miles because they think they're "passing" and going fast, you still get over to the right if there is any car behind you in the left lane. They are likely waiting to pass you.
And here in the UK. I dunno why people do it when they have multiple opportunities to move over... same shit here.... "I was going the speed limit" crap. People don't realise speedos are 10% slower than the car is actually going... in a 70mph zone u can do 82mph no problem
Semi truck drivers are the worst, they have a heavy load and get a little speed and try and pass. Then hit a hill, welcome to the view for the next 15 minutes of your life. That’s why on some highways, Georgia has a right lane only law for Semi trucks. 👆
I was on a trip on I-95 years ago, heading south, heading to a base in Georgia. Speed limit had increased to 75. I was making that, in the right lane, getting passed by people doing 85 and up. Suddenly, a State Trooper hove alongside on my port side, slowing to match me. He looked over. I glanced at my speedometer, then glanced at him. He glanced again, with a slight nod, pointed at me, then pointed forward with several quick hook jabs. I nodded, gave a thumbs up, and smiled. He smiled, and took off. I sped up to 85 like everyone else. That's good policing.
he is choosing the better law to enforce. Not all laws are equal. It's safer to just let ppl pass you instead of being an acehole and deliberately trying to slow them down...
@@joemoe5619 So, your argument is that the speed limit doesn't apply in the left lane. That is not a question. It is a statement of fact. Your argument is wrong. The speed limit is EQUAL to every other law on the road. Speeding is not legal because you are in a hurry. Learn to be patient and abide by the laws of the road. That is what the driver in the left lane is doing as he drives the speed limit.
@@DarrylAJones the law that says you can't camp in the left lane is right also so w.e everyone speeds even you so get off your high horse and stay out of the left lane

nah man dont give these fuckers on the left lane any excuses, I've seen roads in shithole countries and ppl even in Europe who know left lane is for passing. They need to have their licenses revoked and made a public example.
It actually is. I only learned the concept of “left lane is only for passing” by watching a variety of videos like this one. I’m 35 and not once, in my entire life (including drivers ed) have I been told about this in person. Only on TH-cam.

@@mystdragon8530 Most cops don't care unless you're going 12 over, or you're in a high traffic area driving recklessly. The ones that do are trying to make quota to climb the ladder. Going 7 over isn't going to do anything but clear the roads faster and make everyone's day better.
@@phillipprice6913 I’m not talking about them they can’t help it I’m talking about all the civilian vehicles that decide to use the passing lane to go the exact same speed as the car next to them.

Sometimes Charlotte can be petty, i guess it depends on the officer. But overall i cant complain. I wish more cops here would do this kind of stuff. There are so many people here who do not know how to drive...
By charging people with a crime that’s not even a real crime definition of impending traffic person shall stop or operate a vehicle, trackless trolley, or street car at such an unreasonably slow speed as to impede or block the normal and reasonable movement of traffic, except when stopping or reduced speed is necessary for safe operation or to comply with law.

@thebluestig2654 It's not federal, but all states consider the left most lane with the exception of car pool lanes on multi lane highways passing lanes.
@@thebluestig2654yeah man. This will only work in 6 of 50 states. And it is on you to know the laws of the state you are driving in...... so. Since it is a law of some kind saying you should give way to traffic overtaking or saying the left is only for passing in 44 out of 50 states.... its probably smarter just to assume its a law in every state. Plus it is just smart and kind driving. The autoban has less wrecks per capita and it has no speed limit. The reason is people have to move over. They are assumed to be the guilty party if they are rear ended.
You ain't kidding, here in TX they have signs all over the highway "Left lane for passing only" and yet I pass dozens of cars camping in the left lane every day on I35. It's them and the idiots who drive with their high beams on, I see an equal amount of both.
@@jkneeland89 I'm in TX too. Several times a year (for at least 30 yrs) I drive from N.TX to Austin, by the time I arrive to my friend's house I am so frazzled and miffed. I try to avoid i35 locally as much as possible.
To be fair, you're admitting you're part of the problem. I'm not saying they're right, but the road isn't dangerous with one person in the left lane... it's dangerous when the person in the left lane isn't going 20 over and someone else is. At the end of the day, it's just as illegal to ride in the passing lane as it is to speed... but not where I live. Where I live, the law doesn't specifically call out people driving in the left, but we all know the speed limit isn't a suggestion. I'd love if every hypocrite in this comment section took the words out of the Bible, "And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye when you have a log in your own?" Complain about people breaking the law when you follow all of them. Until then, you are the problem too... you don't get to complain about safety while speeding.
@@NathanRowat agreed. People drive way to fast. Check you clock. You're only saving a minute or two. The flow of traffic should not exceed the posted limit, passing or not. You can be doing 90 mph and there's always going to be some asshole who wants to go faster. It's a mentality. Fix that and problem solved.
@@NathanRowat you are making assumptions. I'm not saying it is the only cause of accidents, I'm saying it causes accidents. I don't speed. I use the left lane as the passing lane. I'm not part of the problem. But when all traffic comes to a complete stop because someone is driving in the passing lane, and stopping the natural flow of traffic for on ramps and off ramps, accidents happen. Yes, there are people that drive way to fast and weave in and out of traffic, and they cause accidents too, but they aren't the subject of this topic of conversation.
It drives me crazy! They build freeways so people can go from “a” to “b” quicker and then you get people going slow in all lanes side by side pretty much causing a traffic jam behind them.
They think going the speed limit on the left lane is being safe when in fact it's doing the opposite. They're forcing cars to bunch together on the highway which makes it even more dangerous.
@@YurFavDva He was hogging the overtaking lane. You're supposed to only go in that lane to pass another vehicle. Once you have completed the maneuver and you are in front of the other car, you should move back into the middle lane.
I hope he only gave a warning.. Because the law is not clear as to how many cars behind you is too much, and the contradiction with the speed limit seems to be abused to pull people over .
@@privateprivate1865the left lane is a passing lane.. Full stop. If you aren't actively passing other vehicles, you got no business staying in the left lane. Nothing ambiguous about it.
For my first 2 years of driving I didn't know that the left lane was for passing its not explained during the process of getting ur license in NYS. Really a shame
I don’t support more governmental control in anyway, but warnings aren’t going to help. I’ve made everyone I’ve ever ridden with very aware of what the left lane is for on Florida interstates, and even people I know personally don’t care. People not from here simply don’t seem to grasp the understanding that I75 is the autobahn of the US, and this is absolutely a race.
And every US state has "slower traffic keep right" laws, so anyone that acts like where they're from is different, is only different in the culture and enforcement, but not in the inconsiderate impeding of traffic and increased accident risk.
Patrick, when they ask those things, they are watching how you react...normal law abiding citizens will genrally laugh at that...ive had a couple of em ask me if i had any knives, guns, hand grenades or any other bombs...

sadly in PA, I was tailgating a suv driving at speed limit on the left lane for like 2,3 mins, the cop stopped me and saying "you should leave more space" SURE
Funny, as a Dallasite, this has to be #1 complaint of most Tx drivers - left is passing, move to the right otherwise!! 😂 Thanks, Sherriff, for educating him.
Is this just Texas? Because everywhere in the US they drive like this. It is not possible to pass while driving the speed limit. The unsaid rule is to drive above limit to pass.
@@TheBooban People aren't going to be driving exactly the same speeds, which is why people can pass. 5 over the speed limit isn't bad. I can tell you don't drive if this doesn't make sense to you.
I drive in Europe. I accelerate to over take, way past the speed limit, then go back into the slow lane. I've only been a passenger in the US and trying to overtake 5 over the limit is insane. How do you do overtake using the opposite lane? Its not possible. I don't even think US has such roads.@@pill-poppingnarcissist
I lived in Dallas - and yeah there was some of that - the worst though - the VERY WORST - is the pkwy in Huntsville where people get in the left lane and intentionally drive 5 miles under the limit because they feel it's their job to slow everyone down.
All states follow the "Uniform Vehicle Code" and require drivers to keep right if they are going "slower than the posted speed limit". The state laws people are referring to are the ones that say slower moving vehicles going under the posted limit, vehicle weights, vehicle types, etc. Should not be in the left lane. If I am going 65 mph in the left lane of a 2 or 3 lane highway and the posted speed limit is 65 mph. Nobody should be trying to pass me. If you are; then your are speeding and are breaking the law.
An Arizonan Cop having to tell a Texan that shit is HILARIOUS! Texas is gun country, so it is even more ironic he had to state the obvious to the driver.
Also ticket those going over the speed limit in all lanes. If the speed limit was the limit as stated, there wouldn't be a problem. It's assumed illegal activity. (???)
As a fellow Ga resident for my entire life, I 2nd this. I live less than 20 miles from Atlanta. Traffic is horrible. Traffic is horrible everywhere even outside of Atlanta.

@@vegezylandthe idea is that you use it to pass people and then go back into a more right hand lane. You should pretty much never feel the need to camp out in the left most lane. It’s best to have it clear in case of emergency services needing it.
@@azankhan88 People are not consistent drivers. They speed up and slow down. If I pull behind you while you're in the left lane doing the speed limit you need to move over and let me pass. It is NOT YOUR JOB to stop me from exceeding the speed limit.

@@TheArchighves the only slow person here is you. The passing lane is for people driving to the speed limit to pass those that are driving UNDER the speed limit. This isn't the German autobahn sunshine.
Just... No. He's wrong. The legal speed limit is a rule that you're not supposed to go any faster. Why does he get to decide that the driver is wrong for following the law. Where is it written that it's not about the speed limit?
I mean he’s completely wrong tho. It is illegal to travel for any reasons short of emergency (and even then it’s still illegal just often excused) above the speed limit. The left lane is not the “fast lane” and the right lane is not the “slow lane” the further right lane is an exit and coming on lane for the coming ramps, the middle lane is for traveling at legal travel limits (speed limit or slightly under). The furthest left lane is used for passing people in the travel lane who are traveling UNDER SPEED LIMIT. Passing is specific to going around slow vehicles not vehicles doing the speed limit that is ILLEGAL. This same cop would gladly write this man a ticket for going over the speed limit lmao. Don’t trust the police on your law information.
Or people could just accept responsibility for their emotions and exercise self-control?? But you know, it's the slow driver in the fast lane that made me mad 😂
@@jaydouglas8845 it absolutely does prevent accidents to drive on the right pass to the left and return to the right and that is why the federal requirement for all states to write that law was imposed.

I talked to the state highway patrol a few days ago asking about the same situation and the speed limit being 70 mi an hour and they stated to me if you're going over 70 your speeding it doesn't matter what Lane you're in
I usually drive fast enough to be passing people, but if I notice another car coming up fast on my tail, I move over and slow down. If they want to go faster, it's not my job to be the pace car!
Exactly. I drive faster than everyone on the highway basically at all times but if I see some crazy bastard flying up behind me I move over and say go for it. (Jersey btw)
I'm usually going 6-8 over the limit and if I'm actively passing someone I'm not going to go even faster just to appease some butthole flying up behind me like I'm sitting still. They can wait until I've cleared the person to my right and can move back over.
I hear in Germany they'll give you a big fat ticket if you pass people on the right, but virtually nobody blocks the left lane, because the fined for *that* are massive (and enforced!) too.
Can you come to Florida and help here, please? I don't care if you're going 70 in the left lane in a 70 mile per hour zone. If there are people behind you. That's your Sign 2 move over! Left lane is faster and passing lane. you wanna do exactly the speed limit stay in the middle lane. Thank you
It actually does cause a lot of road rage. My best friend tried to pass a left lane hog and the guy kept speeding up to prevent my friend from passing. He eventually got around him, but the left lane hog then flashed his brights and gave him the finger, all while his wife was in the car. 🤦 That's what gets me, when they speed up to prevent people from passing. They're literally causing trouble in a 3,000lb vehicle. I'm a quick driver and I just try to get away from these people. If they're mad enough, they can try to catch me.
He didn’t enforce the law on the people speeding around him. Which the driver was clearly going the speed limit. Anything over that and it’s a ticket-able offense.
@@Iraqveteran-ke6qudid we watch the same video? Left lane is for passing. That is law, he was being unsafe by causing other cars to pass around him on the right
When senior citizens were young the law was only to drive the speed limit and not above that, at least in Texas. The lanes to the right were for those that drove slower than the speed limit posted. I am not a senior citizen yet, but I don’t see the point of a speed limit if anyone can drive faster than the limit posted. Yes, I drive on the farthest right lane.

A prime example for what we want to see not only in an officer or sheriff, but in ALL individuals. He really tried to pull that “i was trying to get over” BS. He is why highways are not nearly as safe as they should be. He is why traffic congestion can evolve to be a complete clog that lasts up to an entire hour (within one mile marker). Him and the types that use ANY remotely car sized gap to cut up in congested traffic, only disrupting the flow even more. I rlly wish each lane was rated for a specific speed range, like 60-75 left lane, 45-55 middle lane, and the minimum to 40 (minimum is usually 40) for the right. You should ideally never ever be passing on the right of cars. Also by the time anyone passes the end of the solid white separating any on ramp and the main roadway, they should already be at the minimum

EDIT: Everyone except for the mouth breathers who break traffic laws by camping in the left lane, yet simultaneously contend that they care about the legality of actions.
Agreed. But I don't see how the ticket would hold up in court. If he was doing the speed limit (which the cop didn't deny), then those he was "impeding" were breaking the law. I hate a left lane hog, but it's hard to convict someone who was doing the speed limit.
Lots of good cops out there. You better hope we have many more join or your safety will mean nothing.
@@Bob-zh7lr Im just hoping boot lickers like you go away so we can hold police to a standard where they aren't shooting more people than they save.
@@jeanaprewitt9658It doesn’t matter if the cars behind you are going 5 over or 150 MPH. You MUST MOVE OVER for faster traffic! The speed limit has NOTHING to do with it! Why do people not understand this? The ticket absolutely would hold up in court because left lane impeding is left lane impeding no matter how fast the other cars are going.
@@jeanaprewitt9658 Sheriff Lamb, THE Sheriff of Pinal county has other videos where he is reading off the law and it's number. So ya, it would hold up in court.
This should be shared millions of times and played every 5 minutes on every channel as a psa.
The part where he said you “should have a gun because it’s dangerous out there”? 😂
freking right
Ikr? It is so infuriating when someone hugs the left lane and is going slower than everyone else.
Exactly what I was going to say. The entirety of America needs to hear this like those people going on the left lane 40 mph on a 50mph speed limit just because they gonna make a left turn to Walmart
I like living in Michigan. Michigan State Troopers make a concerted effort around holidays to enforce left lane riders on the interstates, because traffic is so much heavier already and road rage can quickly turn into unsafe situations and even accidents, which slows down traffic and compounds the frustration levels.

@@Caribuu lol I was only being half serious. But you’re absolutely correct that belief in god is what has torn this world apart for millenniums.

People use religion to justify judgment and hate and killing, and we have always done this as a species. It’s sickening.

But he'll throw in in jail with violent criminals because he had 0.5 grams of weed... Love Texas but the laws and some cops are too hypocritical, like this guy...
From Texas I know this is on signs and have been taught this. Is this not the rule or law in every state?
Texas is the state with the biggest number of people who need to be ashamed of themselves for something.
@@austx23idk if there is a law, but this is like a general understanding in America, left lane is for drivers that drive fast and like the cop said, passing. Is like driving over the spped limits for 5-10 miles, literally 90% of the people drives over the limit but no cops will pull you over even tho it’s “the law”, some people are just very stubborn and have no awareness
Give this sheriff a raise. And a hug. Good man.
Yeah! ""You should carry a gun it's dangerous out here'" from a place of genuine concern.
Please send this sheriff on an educational tour, starting with Wisconsin, then over to Minnesota!!!
I didn’t want some people don’t want to speed limits that’s OK but don’t take it out on the guy driving the speed limit because nobody else wants to follow the law.
@gavinl4388 If you're doing the speed limit, stay out of the left lane. It's for passing.
A hug?
Thank you, sir. The highways would move along much better if more people had a cooperative spirit and used the left lane for passing only.
For people staying in the left lane continuously for 100 miles because they think they're "passing" and going fast, you still get over to the right if there is any car behind you in the left lane. They are likely waiting to pass you.
This needs to be shown on all news outlets in America.
And here in the UK. I dunno why people do it when they have multiple opportunities to move over... same shit here.... "I was going the speed limit" crap. People don't realise speedos are 10% slower than the car is actually going... in a 70mph zone u can do 82mph no problem
Faxxx put this on the news

@@GFY127I always use the 10% or 5 mph over, whichever is faster rule while rounding up to the nearest whole number.

Agreed!
And they think they’re doing the lords work because they’re “doing the speed limit” vanilla folks
Semi truck drivers are the worst, they have a heavy load and get a little speed and try and pass. Then hit a hill, welcome to the view for the next 15 minutes of your life. That’s why on some highways, Georgia has a right lane only law for Semi trucks. 👆
That's mostly B/S that rarely happens .You would probably go to the slow lane and cut the cars off to get around, this happens all the time
We need this man on I-95 he would be a busy man.
The idiots are everywhere trust me
I was on a trip on I-95 years ago, heading south, heading to a base in Georgia. Speed limit had increased to 75. I was making that, in the right lane, getting passed by people doing 85 and up. Suddenly, a State Trooper hove alongside on my port side, slowing to match me. He looked over. I glanced at my speedometer, then glanced at him. He glanced again, with a slight nod, pointed at me, then pointed forward with several quick hook jabs. I nodded, gave a thumbs up, and smiled. He smiled, and took off. I sped up to 85 like everyone else.
That's good policing.
If we kept Maryland drivers off the road, 95 would be at least 50% better. Build the wall... around Maryland.
75 too!!!
We need this cop in the entire country 😂😂😂

@@joemoe5619 So, your argument is that the speed limit doesn't apply in the left lane. That is not a question. It is a statement of fact. Your argument is wrong.

nah man dont give these fuckers on the left lane any excuses, I've seen roads in shithole countries and ppl even in Europe who know left lane is for passing. They need to have their licenses revoked and made a public example.
It actually is. I only learned the concept of “left lane is only for passing” by watching a variety of videos like this one. I’m 35 and not once, in my entire life (including drivers ed) have I been told about this in person. Only on TH-cam.
Edit: I have always heard that “it’s best to pass only on the left because it’s safer” but that’s about it.
I don't drive so I didn't know that

Thank you! I can't tell you how many times these self appointed highway monitors create dangerous situations.
To be fair, you're admitting you're part of the problem. I'm not saying they're right, but the road isn't dangerous with one person in the left lane... it's dangerous when the person in the left lane isn't going 20 over and someone else is.
At the end of the day, it's just as illegal to ride in the passing lane as it is to speed... but not where I live. Where I live, the law doesn't specifically call out people driving in the left, but we all know the speed limit isn't a suggestion.
I'd love if every hypocrite in this comment section took the words out of the Bible, "And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye when you have a log in your own?"

For my first 2 years of driving I didn't know that the left lane was for passing its not explained during the process of getting ur license in NYS. Really a shame
I don’t support more governmental control in anyway, but warnings aren’t going to help. I’ve made everyone I’ve ever ridden with very aware of what the left lane is for on Florida interstates, and even people I know personally don’t care. People not from here simply don’t seem to grasp the understanding that I75 is the autobahn of the US, and this is absolutely a race.
And every US state has "slower traffic keep right" laws, so anyone that acts like where they're from is different, is only different in the culture and enforcement, but not in the inconsiderate impeding of traffic and increased accident risk.

Who need they need to be stopped by police???? What the fuck is up with people.
All states follow the "Uniform Vehicle Code" and require drivers to keep right if they are going "slower than the posted speed limit".
The state laws people are referring to are the ones that say slower moving vehicles going under the posted limit, vehicle weights, vehicle types, etc. Should not be in the left lane.
If I am going 65 mph in the left lane of a 2 or 3 lane highway and the posted speed limit is 65 mph. Nobody should be trying to pass me. If you are; then your are speeding and are breaking the law.

I love his response to the answer to question do you have any weapons in the car and the guy said no.
I've been on these roads, Phoenix/Tucson six years over a million miles and I still haven't met this guy. I've probably passed him many many times. Keep up the good work.
I love this guy. Every county needs one guy like this one.
you said 5 wrong. 5 will be enough to make a difference.
Good lord. Look at that. A cop with common sense. No ego, no power trip. Calmly informing him to respect the passing lane
Most officers are this way,
but they don’t make the news.
That’s the sheriff of the county believe it or not.
Wtf are you talking about 🤣 how can you pass when your going the same. Speed
@@Dinnaskiare you slow? You didn’t read the comment or sum??
@@TheArchighves the only slow person here is you. The passing lane is for people driving to the speed limit to pass those that are driving UNDER the speed limit.
This isn't the German autobahn sunshine.
"Any weapons in the car?"
"No."
"Well you should. It's dangerous out there."
They both laughed.
🤣🤣🤣

Guns are for savages.
Not funny
@@DaleRunningbear l🤣🤣🤣
@@lsx_axelKinda funny because it's not really that dangerous. Everyone should carry a gun if they want to. Thank God for our second amendment
I wish the officers in Michigan would enforce this law more. It causes SOOOO many accidents.
Could we get this guy to patrol the entire country?
Yes thank you
Yes, please seriously
We really should!!
My God. Amen sir.
Just OREGON please.. definitely the worst state for this
"Do you have guns in the car? no, you should it's dangerous out there...LOL give that cop a raise!!!!
Man I love Texas 😂
Wait this isn’t even Texas 🔥🔥🔥
@@deanhaynes9491 don't know where that is, but it's dangerous out there 🤣🤣🤣🤣
As a European, this is so surreal 😅
Love that.
This is the cop every state, township, and municipality need. Bravo sir, on all accounts 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This guy is my fucking hero. I love you man. Keep up the good work!!!!!!!! ❤
I absolutely LOVE that response "It's not about the speed limit, it's about YOU being in the wrong lane." Period!
It's cause you're an idiot.. if he's going the speed limit. How is anyone supposed to pass him without speeding 😂😂. That's illegal
Just... No. He's wrong. The legal speed limit is a rule that you're not supposed to go any faster. Why does he get to decide that the driver is wrong for following the law. Where is it written that it's not about the speed limit?
Yet he wants to stop you as soon as you are over the limit on that lane...... stupid laws in the south
@ialien2077 following the flow of traffic is more important than the speed limit. Also likes he said the left lane is for passing only
I mean he’s completely wrong tho. It is illegal to travel for any reasons short of emergency (and even then it’s still illegal just often excused) above the speed limit. The left lane is not the “fast lane” and the right lane is not the “slow lane” the further right lane is an exit and coming on lane for the coming ramps, the middle lane is for traveling at legal travel limits (speed limit or slightly under). The furthest left lane is used for passing people in the travel lane who are traveling UNDER SPEED LIMIT. Passing is specific to going around slow vehicles not vehicles doing the speed limit that is ILLEGAL. This same cop would gladly write this man a ticket for going over the speed limit lmao. Don’t trust the police on your law information.
I drive a truck for a living
Good job officer God bless you stay safe out there.
Got a question for ya. Why do most trucks sit in the damn middle lane, screwing up the reason for adding a third lane?
This man is a hero. What he's doing would prevent accidents and road rage dramatically if it was more common.
The man is an asshole with a superiority complex
it doesn't prevent accidents. but it does create traffic problems.
Or people could just accept responsibility for their emotions and exercise self-control?? But you know, it's the slow driver in the fast lane that made me mad 😂
@@forestfire47 i see what you mean, but it makes you mad for a reason… because the slow person in the fast lane is impeding the flow of traffic.
@@jaydouglas8845 it absolutely does prevent accidents to drive on the right pass to the left and return to the right and that is why the federal requirement for all states to write that law was imposed.
There aren't many laws that are required in every state in the ones that are are because it makes a difference I don't know why you would think it doesn't or why you think they would create a law if it is not based on helping.
I talked to the state highway patrol a few days ago asking about the same situation and the speed limit being 70 mi an hour and they stated to me if you're going over 70 your speeding it doesn't matter what Lane you're in
I usually drive fast enough to be passing people, but if I notice another car coming up fast on my tail, I move over and slow down. If they want to go faster, it's not my job to be the pace car!
Move over and slow down? Are you from Washington?
Exactly. I drive faster than everyone on the highway basically at all times but if I see some crazy bastard flying up behind me I move over and say go for it.
(Jersey btw)
I'm usually going 6-8 over the limit and if I'm actively passing someone I'm not going to go even faster just to appease some butthole flying up behind me like I'm sitting still. They can wait until I've cleared the person to my right and can move back over.
I am more than happy to let some car drive faster than me. Let them catch that ticket.
I get over so the idiot on my bumper can go! Yikes. I wish this office was in my area!
Wish we had more police like this guy in Illinois.
That means the police would do their job and I live in Rockford, Rockford police are so ass at their jobs I actually like it. Less control.
Hate to say, when you let your guard down, you get killed..it sucks because it would be so much nicer to have an officer like him.
I hear in Germany they'll give you a big fat ticket if you pass people on the right, but virtually nobody blocks the left lane, because the fined for *that* are massive (and enforced!) too.
@@julianbrelsfordas a German you are spot on, as well as better trainer drivers all around
Can you come to Florida and help here, please? I don't care if you're going 70 in the left lane in a 70 mile per hour zone. If there are people behind you. That's your Sign 2 move over! Left lane is faster and passing lane. you wanna do exactly the speed limit stay in the middle lane. Thank you
"You should, it's dangerous out there" 😂😂
The US has too many crazy gun nuts. Too many savages.
Somebody give this man a raise! Drivers who camp in the passing lane are the absolute worst.
“Any weapons? No. Well you should.” 😂
That's a real cop❤
Yee. Haw.
Now that's how you serve and protect.
America 🇺🇸
Cop, "Any weapons?"
driver, "No"
Cop, " Wanna buy one?"
Give this cop a billion dollar raise
He's the actual sheriff doing stops which Is odd enough
He sexy too ngl
Who would pay him that billion dollar raise? All upfront or how will it be structured? What size is ur ba**s?
He's not a cop .. he's a youtuber and he already knows the people he pulls over. There are many of these fake cop channels around.
For what being a dick
"You have any weapons in the car?". "No.". "No? You should, it's dangerous out there.". Never truer words have been spoken
It's even more dangerous when you say yes.
@@w2385-i2snot really. Are you a gun owner and have you dealt with police while in possession of a firearm?

Sheriff with a sense of humour
😂😂😂
Thank you, so much. I feel like this causes more road rage than anything on the roads.
It actually does cause a lot of road rage. My best friend tried to pass a left lane hog and the guy kept speeding up to prevent my friend from passing. He eventually got around him, but the left lane hog then flashed his brights and gave him the finger, all while his wife was in the car. 🤦 That's what gets me, when they speed up to prevent people from passing. They're literally causing trouble in a 3,000lb vehicle. I'm a quick driver and I just try to get away from these people. If they're mad enough, they can try to catch me.
Driving the speed limit!? lol
@@brandonerwin7031 If you want to drive the speed limit do it in the right lane with the grandmas.
Its ridiculous
@@brandonerwin7031I call bull shit on that
Good! Finally a cop enforcing this law. 👍
He didn’t enforce the law on the people speeding around him. Which the driver was clearly going the speed limit. Anything over that and it’s a ticket-able offense.
@@Iraqveteran-ke6qubecause he’s cool and he knows speeding is for cool people so he pulled over the only pussy on the road going the speed limit
@@Iraqveteran-ke6qudid we watch the same video? Left lane is for passing. That is law, he was being unsafe by causing other cars to pass around him on the right
@@Iraqveteran-ke6quidiot

That message should be told to every senior citizen with a driver's license
Not me, bitch!!!
And house wife
@@Gutz1204 He didn't sound like a woman??
He didn't sound like a senior citizen?
When senior citizens were young the law was only to drive the speed limit and not above that, at least in Texas. The lanes to the right were for those that drove slower than the speed limit posted. I am not a senior citizen yet, but I don’t see the point of a speed limit if anyone can drive faster than the limit posted. Yes, I drive on the farthest right lane.
Finally puting a clueless non caring driver and setting him straight....there are rules for driving on the road for a reason....people need to get a clue...its not about you its about keeping the flow of traffic going and not obstructing....thumbs up to the no B.S. officer
Give this cop a raise
He is the Sheriff, and he's currently running for Congress.
@@X_Rider4Life So THAT’S why your moms was able to do me in her house last nite. Your dining room table was the perfect height for the deed.
@@porgytirebiter7848 you can’t even spell correctly fool
Why give him a raise? He does not even know or understand the law. He pulled over a driver based on his feelings and opinions, not the actual law.
If anything, he should be demoted, fined, or otherwise penalized.
@@bmoturtlecoIt is the law
This is the best post I’ve ever seen on social media. This needs to go viral.
This man is a true hero 🙏
Left-lane weirdos have been going the speed limit for decades.
It's actually one of the few traffic violations that endanger the public.
My wife is oblivious to this, I refuse to ride with her because of her driving
@@jaelynnholloman4260I have the same argument with my "better half" too!
Sometimes, you wanna pass em and they speed up 😂😂😂😂 omg.
Yeah cause it's not the people speeding around him endangering people, it's the person doing the speed limit.
@richardbridges7962 - Oh horseshit! It’s people like you who are endangering the public.
I'm from Texas, and THANK YOU!!!! People don't know how to drive. It's MADDENING! People drive UNDER the SL in the left lane all the dang time, and it blocls traffic for miles. Love this!
Maddening? You might have anger issues if a slower driver upsets you so much, seek therapy.
@@DeathhAngel1 okay, "deathangel" you're gonna tell me that getting stuck in a block of conjested traffic because some idiot's going 65 in the left (passing) lane, on a HWY where the speed limit is 75, wouldn't make you mad? 🤣 Sure.
@@janefan1216 not really, i simply dont have anger or ego issues like alot of the raging "get outta the left lane" crybabies do .
@@DeathhAngel1yeah imma say I got anger issues then.. If you are going to cruise and aren't actively passing other cars, why would you be in lane 1 the passing lane. Once I get passed on my right side I'm changing lanes because it's also a bind spot hazard.....
@@TheMNLproductions thats fine, dont mind it.
That cop is making so much sense for MANY people on the road in our country! Thank you , Sir! This kind of thinking is shared with MANY folks indeed...❤
This entire video, this officer, the fact that he actually pulled the fuckhead over, and everything he said, god I might as well be at the source of the freshest crispiest mountain water on planet Earth with how refreshing this was. Thank you so much officer pleaseeee go have a as many talks at school assemblies as you can, influence as many youthful lives as possible because you sir are a blueprint human. A prime example for what we want to see not only in an officer or sheriff, but in ALL individuals. He really tried to pull that “i was trying to get over” BS. He is why highways are not nearly as safe as they should be. He is why traffic congestion can evolve to be a complete clog that lasts up to an entire hour (within one mile marker). Him and the types that use ANY remotely car sized gap to cut up in congested traffic, only disrupting the flow even more. I rlly wish each lane was rated for a specific speed range, like 60-75 left lane, 45-55 middle lane, and the minimum to 40 (minimum is usually 40) for the right. You should ideally never ever be passing on the right of cars. Also by the time anyone passes the end of the solid white separating any on ramp and the main roadway, they should already be at the minimum
Thank you! This is the most annoying driving habit that people need to be aware of. That and not using their blinkers.
