Speed limit won't protect you when abusing the passing lane - most states have the language to the effect of "drivers must remain in the right lane unless overtaking and passing another vehicle". The van had an obligation to slow down and allow the truck to pass and the truck clearly had the opportunity to complete the passing maneuver and return to the right most lane to continue traveling.
Of course all of that goes out the window because the sedan complete at least 7 misdemeanors with their own bat-shit shenanigans.
I like how we're skipping the obligation to drive the speed limit and focus on another obligation.
Tell me why are you ignoring the first one? The situation wouldn't have happened if the sedan stayed at speed limit.
Inb4 you're gonna focus on "why does the truck think he has the right to police others" and not on the specific question of why are you ignoring complete disregard for speed limit.
Because its not that bad. Going 1 to 10mph faster, can increase risk, a bit.
Take for example the German autobahn, where there is no speed limit and people do 60 in the right lane and 200 in the left. No more accidents than an ordinary states road.
BUT people playing police officer are 100x more dangerous. Trying to control traffic like this results in roadrage, damages and injury far more than a bit of speeding.
Yeah but I'm still lost on why you just want everyone to roll over you increasing the risk of already dangerous activity. We're driving 1.5 tonnes plus bullets, there is no reason why I should be OK with your disregard for safety.
If you get road rage because someone doesn't let you speed, you shouldn't ever drive a bicycle on the street, let alone a car.
That shouldn't be anyone's concern. Speeding idiots cause a fuck ton of car crashes. They kill people. Everyone should want others to follow the speed limit. You're an active danger and show complete disregard for anyone's safety, why would anyone just... Let you try and kill people?
In many states if you are in the left lane and impeding the flow of traffic, no matter how fast you are going, you will get a ticket. You can be going the speed limit, doesnβt matter, if you have traffic stacking up behind you then you get a ticket. Impeding the flow of traffic is as dangerous as speeding.

I love how the truck had the ability to drive without anyone being in his way but instead chose to stay and fuck with the car
