Rock in the stream: the Safety Dept. lied to you!

Texas Transportation Code - TRANSP § 545.363. Minimum Speed Regulations

After reading this, I have to admit that I agree with the possibility of being ticketed, but I doubt it would actually stick if someone tried to fight it

 

"The operator of a vehicle moving at a speed so slow as to impede the normal and reasonable movement of traffic shall, if practicable, yield the roadway to an overtaking vehicle and shall move at a reasonably increased speed"

 

Nothing there states one can speed. It says get out of the way or get up to the speed limit. Nothing more, nothing less.

Stop reading in what's not there.

 

Read the interpretations, read the definitions of presumed speed limit, read the statement from GA and WI highway patrol.

Or read " Notwithstanding the prima facie speed limits, any vehicle proceeding upon a highway at a speed less than the normal speed of traffic moving in the same direction at such time shall be driven in the right-hand lane for traffic or as close as practicable to the right-hand edge or curb, except when overtaking and passing another vehicle proceeding in the same direction or when preparing for a left turn at an intersection or into a private road or driveway." That's in the Georgia law.

 

Can we all just agree that if you're in the left or center lane, and someone comes up behind you going faster, it's just courtesy to move to the right?

There. Easy peasy

 

Smith system came out in the 1940's

 

While we're at it, could someone explain just why Fed-ex drivers just NEED to fly through construction zones, only to get on the other end and slow down?

 

The only other place I know of that had such a congregation of legal experts
Is jail
Lol

 

Not sure anyone could explain this, not even the fed ex driver’s themselves
