We'll never know if he was doing this or not.
It's right in the video, clear as day. He had room to get over. He chose not to.
quote:
He wasn't, he was passing a car
No, he was not. He had room to move back over to the right lane and chose not to. He was breaking the law by doing so.
quote:
The law says you have to stop making your pass to get in teh right lane for the faster car? I don't think it does.
No, the law says when you pass a car, you are to move back over in to the right lane if you have room to do so when someone is behind you going faster than you.
The truck had room to move over. He chose not to.
quote:
He was not in the wrong. Period
Yes, he was. Your ignorance of the law doesn't make you right.
quote:
Correct, after he finished his pass, which he was in the process of making
No, he made the initial pass, then failed to move back over to the right lane to let the faster vehicle behind him pass before attempting the next pass. Which is how the law works.
Say it with me: Slower. Traffic. Keep. Right.
The truck was the slower traffic, and he failed to keep right after making his initial pass.
quote:
You'd be wrong
You're the one arguing it's perfectly fine to just sit in the left lane as long as you're passing. As I said, your thought process is how we get mile-long bumper to bumper traffic in the left lane because of some jackass who is "passing" and refuses to move back over to the right lane when he's able.

You know that know that there is also another law, right? Speed limit laws.
Irrelevant to the discussion at hand.

What discussion? That the left lane automatically belongs to the driver that wants to drive the fastest, regardless of speed limit? And that's courteous driving?

It's right in the video, clear as day. He had room to get over. He chose not to.
quote:Except he was, he was in the left lane going at a higher rate of speed than the car ahead in the right lane, also known as passing.
No, he was not.
quote:Are you sure about that? For example, From the Texas official gov website:
No, the law says when you pass a car, you are to move back over in to the right lane if you have room to do so when someone is behind you going faster than you.
- Signs that say, “Left lane for passing only” identifies a pass-only lane.
- After you pass someone, move into the right lane once you've safely cleared the vehicle
So....exactly like I said and nothing like you said, no?
quote:See above, the actual law is what I said, not what you said.
Yes, he was. Your ignorance of the law doesn't make you right.
quote:This point would be spot on, just not relevant to this example. He wasn't "passing" and instead he was passing.

And the truck does not do this after passing the first vehicle in the footage. The dark SUV. The white truck passes the dark SUV, has room to move back over to the right lane, and does not do so. He stays in the left lane.
He does the typical American thing of "well, I'm going to pass that vehicle in front of me eventually, so I'll just stay here in the left lane. To hell with anyone behind me."
Instead of doing what is quoted above.

I drive a lot, 30k miles per year minimum (not including whatever I drive in the wife's van), with tons of interstate miles.
The amount of people that "cruise" in the left lanes and refuse to give way is infuriating. Checkerboarding on the highways is just plain bullshiat.
There were some campaigns from various states saying police would start enforcing the left lane lurker laws, but they don't, not really. I'd like to see cars in the future that already have lane assist type tech have some type of jackass alarm that will go off when it detects you are in the left lane for too long.

Are you able to quote the law you're speaking of here?

You quoted it for me:
quote:

He safely cleared the dark SUV and did not move back over in to the right lane.

Looks like he's just going to downvote the ling to NJ law

Weird thing to do, but have at it.

He passed someone (the dark SUV) then did not get back over in to the right lane, as it states in your own quote.

This is what I believe. The driver of that car is definitely guilty of reckless driving but the driver of the truck was wrong to speed up to try to block them. They both should be ticketed

I drove from El Segundo, CA to Encino, CA up the 405 for 5 days a week so I know how maddening traffic can be. A 27 mi commute would take 1.5 hours.
There's zero excuse for aggressive and dangerous driving.
