    Why wasn't it right? The Civic was moving extra slow in the left lane and seemed to only be moving faster once the cop started riding its tail. Cop turned on his lights, got the Civic to move into the slow lane, and then went back to the fast lane. I bet the driver in the Civic learned a lesson, as well as the other cars around (probably laughing their asses off, too).

    awesome more by the cop. Wish he would have given the guy a ticket. I can't stand those idiots going slow in the fast lane.

    That cop is bad ass though. I would love to commend him, wish we had more like that.

    The person wasn't going significantly slower than people around them. Not like they were going 40 in a 70. Is there such thing as a legally designated "fast" lane and "slow" lane? :confused:

    he was going a bit slower but the far left lane should be for passing only. Not for cruising.

    Disgusting. Thanks Obama. Government butting more and more into our lives. This is a free country, if I want to drive at the speed limit in the right lane, so be it. /sarcasm

    People who drive slowly in the left lane should be fined severely for clogging up the roads.

    I understand and I even agree. I would never drive slow in the left lane. But is it illegal to do so? I didn't think so. Hence, why I thought the cop was wrong. Kinda looks bad if the person that is supposed to uphold the law is the same person to try to force someone to break it lol.

    Back on topic, where's ma vid droxford!!

    Well since they can scan your cellphone, why didn't the cop text the driver's cellphone and say, Speed the **** UP!!!!
