Just because the left lane is for passing, doesn't give you the right to tail gate a car that is doing the posted speed limit.  There is no right to pass once the speed limit is exceeded.

You can go 10 miles over the speed limit to pass someone.  I live in the state of Washington too.

speed limits are set by state law.\n\nany police jurisdiction in which the interstate runs though has police jurisdiction.\n\nif it runs though a city, city police can radar there,  in the county, the sheriff can patrol there, and of course highway patrol can patrol there also

I usually put it like this. Say I am at a fork in the road. One way is a super highway which has lots of speeding cars on it, the other is a very narrow bumpy road. The problem is that the super highway has a blind curve and just beyond the blind curve is a bridge but the bridge is out. The cars are going too fast to stop once around the blind curve, so they are going off the cliff to certain death. I know this but the people in the speeding cars don't.\n\nI feel that it is my moral responsibility to stand at the fork and try to warn people about the blind curve and the bridge being out. I try to tell them to take the slower, narrow, bumpy road because it will get them where they want to go safely. The problem is that most people don't believe me. Many just ignore me and speed along to their deaths. Some laugh at me as they continue on at break neck speed. A few stop listen and turn off onto the narrow road. Others stop get out and try to beat or kill me just for telling them something they don't want to hear.\n\nMy question is: should I continue to try to warn people even though I know they will most likely get mad at me and not listen? Or should I just get into my car and happily drive away down the narrow road and not care about the millions dying on the super highway?\n\nalso, when we are refuting and defending our faith its called apologetics. why would you not defend something that you believe in so dearly, when someone is talking bad about it. would you not say anything? it seems like you wouldnt. God bless

If you stopped in a lane that was not a turn lane then it is your fault. You cant just stop in the middle of traffic because you cant get over. Still though, you can argue with the insurance company and perhaps convince them. Doubt it.

So your question is "which is morally better: speeding and being safer or sticking to the limit and being less safe?"\n\nMy greatest moral obligation is to preserve and protect the lives and well-being of the passengers in my car. If that means going 5-10 miles over the speed limit because most people are doing 20 + miles over, then so be it.  (Most of the time staying to the right and doing the speed limit works just fine.)

I dont think that should be allowed.  Other race car drivers look forward to at least attempt to make the race, especially when its a one car team.  Micheal Waltrip should have sucked it up and left.

parking lots are private property so there has to be a sign posted saying that the property owner has allowed the police to patrol the parking lot.  If there is noting like that there is nothing that they can do to you unless you were pulling on to a city street, at least that is the law in CA

People tend to drive very badly every day. They seem to think that a car is meant for eating, putting on make-up, talking on a cellphone, or even reading a book, and not for paying attention to the road and driving. They also think it is ok to go super slow (65 or slower) on the highway, when it actually is really dangerous to everyone around them.

Nobody has the 'right' to drive.  Driving privileges are limited in an attempt to keep the idiots from killing people.

Where the sign is at is where the new speed limit starts or at least that is what i was taught.

"Paced" means he was behind you trying to go the same speed you were going. So if he matched your speed, he can look at his speedometer and see that you were going 40. You can also look at the violation you were charged with. Sometimes the violation cited is not for being over the posted speed limit, it is for unsafe speed, which less dependant on your exact speed. As far as contesting the ticket, if you have the time and do some fact gathering, maybe you can convince a judge that you were not in violation. If you go to court, it isn't going to be any worse, but you could get off with traffic school or something.

I know, in most places of Canada & U.S.A. its illegal to part in any place it tells people NOT to park. You could park only in drastic emergancy situations anywhere if you were in drastic need to do such.

Plea not guilty and take the reduction to illegal parking to avoid points on your license. I'm sure you were very careful in going around the double parked vehicle and checked both pedestrian and vehicle traffic before passing.

it has nothing to do with manners it has to do with a basic rule of safe driving, when you drive along someone and you need to swerve you have only one way to go.  When you are staggered with other cars and there is an obstacle or you slide on ice you have more room to maneuver.

Your fault.  Failure to yield the right-of-way.  Also, some cities have a law against BACKING out of your driveway.

63 mph in a 30 zone !!!!!!!!!!!!! are you some kind of idiot, i hope you get a ban as you deserve one, at over 60 mph you could have killed someone, if a child had steped out in front of you there is no way you would have been able to stop. Speed cameras are there to stop people like you !!!!!!!!!!!!
