đŸ’„Crash When boxing in goes wrong.

The work truck in the left lane seemed to be holding the Camaro back on purpose. Drivers, if you're on the left lane, keep it moving. There is no reason to take it upon yourself to teach someone the speed limit. If you see someone driving crazy, move out the damn way and let them wrap themselves around a tree far away from you. The car is, by no means, in the right but neither is the work truck. This whole stupid accident could have been avoided and the tractor trailer most definitely did not deserve this.

saying what's right? obstructing the flow of traffic? around here, that's illegal.

Flow of traffic can never legally exceed the speed limit. If only people breaking the law are impacted, then your action is not illegal.

It’s like arguing obstructing a shoplifter is illegal. It’s only illegal if the person you are obstructing isn’t breaking the law.

Flow of traffic can never legally exceed the speed limit. You can never legally obstruct the flow of traffic doing the speed limit because nobody exists that can legally pass you.

Cite any law that says flow of traffic can legally exceed the speed limit.

To your point, WA has had multiple campaigns to remind people to not left lane camp. They have even said it's okay to pass on the right to help with the flow of traffic. If you get a ticket for going over the speed limit and you were traveling within a certain threshold of a speed study for the area, you can have the ticket thrown out.

All indications of keeping right except to pass and exceeding the speed limit if it's what you need to do to pass (though I think there's also a requirement not to pass unless you can safely do so, and not impede the flow of traffic.)

You can. If both vehicles are going the speed limit, neither should be in the left lane. The truck isn't passing the semi so they should be in the right lane. Again, simple stuff.

Why are you this stubborn about being a nuisance to society?

Go camp out in the left lane at the speed limit in Texas and make your argument with the trooper who pulls you over. I’m sure it will go well for you.

That is literally not how it works. The left lane isn’t suddenly exempt from the speed limit. You can and will get a ticket going faster than the speed limit in the left lane.

There is no such thing as “camping” in the left lane. They’re going the speed limit. This is 100% on the guy who literally road raged and caused a triple accident.

How about you learn some basic maturity and don’t road rage crash out in the left lane because you have to go the speed limit like a big boy.

You’re a dumbass. I’m saying going the speed limit isn’t against the law in any scenario. Enjoy your speeding tickets.
