Are you breaking the law if you drive past those road signs that say "Do Not Pass"?

Ha ha. I guess our signs should be clearer, huh.  But:\n"No passing of other cars once your car passes this sign up until the point where there is another sign or the solid yellow line ends" might be just a little too much for a roadsign to carry.\n\nBut, by the way, for those of you who don't remember your roadsign trivia, a roadsign that's black on white is a proscriptive road sign. It tells you things that are illegal to do (I.e. Speed Limit, Do Not Pass, etc.)  Yellow and Black may also be prescriptive (i.e. "No Passing Zone") but more often are just cautionary (Deer Crossing, Stoplight ahead, etc.)

Actually, it is illegal to drive in the left hand lane unless you are passing someone.  The left hand lane is a Passing Lane. You are more likely to get a ticket for being in the left hand lane than to get one from passing in the right.  That's how it is in Texas, however it's hardly enforced.\n\nIllinois law now reads similar to Texas law in that it now  prohibits any vehicle from using the left lane of all interstate highways for further than half a mile.

Yes...just give some sort of signal that you know the police are behind you.  Turn on your hazards and slow down.  Keep driving until you are in a lit area or parking lot.  A good officer will know what you are doing.

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

If they are breaking the law, and intend to do harm to its citizens or interests? You betcha!

No. The police actually have to have you clocked on radar to prove the violation.

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's still considered a "right-of-way" violation. The driver with the legal "right-of-way" is the one with the green light, whether he's an idiot or not. Up here in New England (and I'm sure everywhere else), we have a lot of drivers that go for miles with their blinker on. I wait until they have actually started making the turn to go, because once they start turning, they lose the "right-of-way" on the street they were on.

the law is the law and if you get caught they will screw you for it.\n\nbut yes i agree on the motorway if it is clear then 100 is fine as long as your car is safe and the weatehr is good, the only person you can hurt then is yourself.\n\nI admit i often drive 50, 60 or even 70 on 40mph roads but i do make sure it is safe first and usually only late at night, 30mph areas are not really for speeding as there are usually a lot of people in these areas but i see no real harm in an additional 5 - 6 mph if everyone else is doing the same.\ntraffic police are only around at rush hour so stick to the limit then.\nSpeed cameras are then the main worry regarding geting caught and never speed through motorway roadworks as there is nearly always cameras.\n\n\nalso the temporary speed restrictions in motorway traffic are often ignored by other road users but i know many people getting caught out this way as this is one thing the police do loook out for.\n\ngenerally you have to judge yourself what is safe as sometimes there really is no safety issue in breaking the limit.\n\nstill as a new driver i would be VERY careful as there is a lot you still need to learn... passing your test is just the start.\n\nI remember having quite a few scary moments in the months after passing my test by thinking i was a better driver than i was so take it easy for now and allow plenty of time to get where your going.... dont be pressured into speeding by somebody behind you... if they hit your rear then its their insurance that pays out not yours and you really want to keep that no claims bonus.

Friendly reminder also that your bright lights are blinding me.  Hasn't it become a traffic law in some states that if you aren't traveling at the speed limit you should move over allowing others doing the speed limit to pass?

Probably because you don't know how to drive.  Cops don't pull you over for "no reason".  Quit running that stop sign.

no, it is never legal to flash your lights to oncoming traffic.\n\nBUT if you are passing the cop, hows he gonna see ya do it!  So go for it :)

In general NO, unless you're a monkey with no common sense.\n\nRead the drivers education booklet your state has.\nCheck your local DMV for a sample.

Nope. Not at all. That's trespassing. Feel free to call the police. No warning is necessary.
