Not all heroes wear capes.

They do however wear stiff brim hats occasionally

While I understand you guys wanna suck each other off over this, the justification is because they understand people are speeding, this keeps people from speeding?

So this lady was doing the job of 20 police officers... and instead gets a ticket...?

Seems against common sense

This office is a fricking hero.

People who drive slow in the fast lane are easily the most dangerous drivers on the road.

Speeding itself isn’t the problem. The problem is the speed variances. Obviously she was going slower than the natural flow of traffic.

I don't, that right lane is wide open in 3 lane interstates...

I need a sticker on the left side of my car that says "if I'm passing you, you're doing it wrong"

No, this lady was endangering people on the road since she was forcing people to pass her on the right. People being forced to resort to that cause more wrecks than regular speeding.

In a perfect world, the woman would have been arrested and would get [insert speed limit] years to life, MINIMUM, without the possibility of parole.

I applaud this officer. Nothing worse than some one in the left lane going the speed limit and backing up traffic. They think they helping to cut down on speeding yet they are contributing to so much more unsafe driving.

Those people behind the slow drive might be tailgating other drivers so one quick brake job and the driver rear ends the car in front and causes a multi car pile up. Then you might have the super impatient driver trying to get round the slow one who weaves in and out of the traffic, often without a blinker used. Whats to say they try to cut in a space that is too small and sideswipe another car going 70.

I count four traffic violations in this one paragraph. Seems like these folks are the ones who need to get a grip on their driving. It's called sharing the road.

You're missing the point. It's not about excusing other drivers. It's about the people in the left lane are making the problem worse, not better. Blame the impatient drivers all you want, but the others are equally as guilty and actually more dangerous.
