You'll learn. ;-)<br /><br />But I have to agree, the "pace car" idiots are the worst because they're hypocritical ("i'm going to break the law to stop you from breaking the law") and they're dangerous.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08802954763373299467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597975555647911636.post-80433111935840138752009-10-27T08:14:42.860-06:002009-10-27T08:14:42.860-06:00Agreed.

(However, technically, it seems that is legal to to drive in the left lane...as long as no-one is behind you. The moment someone pulls up behind you, you have to move over). <br /><br />While I'm not copying it, section 1 of the same law deals with your #5 group. It deals with the responsibility of those passing. <br /><br />The ones that 'torque my grinder' are the "law enforcers." If you think someone is going too fast, call the highway patrol. But before you take the police officers' valuable time, consider whether or not the driver who passed you is actually endangering people by their speed. What's more, as you can read below, staying in the left lane pretending to be a pace car when someone is trying to pass, it just as illegal as speeding. <br /><br /> Utah Code Ann. § 41-6a-704<br />...<br /> (2) On a highway having more than one lane in the same direction, the operator of a vehicle traveling in the left general purpose lane:<br /> (a) shall, upon being overtaken by another vehicle in the same lane, yield to the overtaking vehicle by moving safely to a lane to the right; and<br /> (b) may not impede the movement or free flow of traffic in the left general purpose lane.<br />(3) An operator of a vehicle traveling in the left general purpose lane that has a vehicle following directly behind the operator's vehicle at a distance so that less than two seconds elapse before reaching the location of the operator's vehicle when space is available for the operator to yield to the overtaking vehicle by traveling in the right-hand lane is prima facie evidence that the operator is violating Subsection (2).CLRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14848309436152330043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597975555647911636.post-91252443692699120692009-10-26T21:29:40.665-06:002009-10-26T21:29:40.665-06:00Ah!
