Move Over/Slow Down Laws

Common courtesy and common sense have been dead way to long to not have a law. Thats the sad part.


The fact that a professional driver does not think this should be the case?

Also sad.

 

LE and ERs need the law. But many people need to bring a better developed brain with them when they get behind the wheel, and stop doing stupid #### that creates unnecessary hazards for others.

 

So push for increased texting and driving enforcement. That would help. And if the ijits you see would look farther than 15' ahead that would help too. If a ticket or accident is what it takes...

So be it.

 

Perhaps, but today we have 20 times more vehicles and 20 time more distracted drivers, driving too close and at much higher speeds

 

And encouraging people to ignore common sense and courtesy will make it worse not better.

 

They are and they do, but it does little good. Yes, a ticket or impact with another is what it takes to get some to figure it out.

 

I have been in situations that I cannot move over, so me, not caring about who the hell is behind me, throws the 4 ways on; slows down to a crawl; wiggles over to the left line and goes on by...

LEO's know SOMETIMES it cannot happen. I just minimize the risk of them loosing a hat from the wind.

But generally speaking, I look far enough ahead, so that I am already a lane over (maybe 2)

People now-a-days are so far up the phone or someone else's rear that they have NO CHOICE but to look at someone's gas hole and NOT see if front of them.
