"The reason [the ticket] is silly is because it's sending the wrong message," said John Townsend of AAA Mid-Atlantic. "And that is, 'We will tolerate you driving at more than the speed limit, but it you drive below the speed limit, then you're penalized for that.'"

Uh, wanting to drive the speed limit in the fast lane isn't illegal or outrageous. I watch oblivious/disengaged drivers cause so many dangerous situations, far worse than driving a reasonable amount above the speed limit while paying attention... clusters of cars playing leap frog while all driving within 1mph of each other... cars that actually slow down to pass semis. Freakin' morons, can't even get out of the way of each other, much less those who know how to drive efficiently.

They should've thrown her ass in jail.

I hate it when people go slow in the left lane.

**** YOU, you left lane bandit!

[frankotank]

there's a whole Seinfeld episode about this.....

but it annoys the piss outta me when I do the right thing and slow down and let you in, and you can't exert and ounce of energy or spend one second of your precious time to give me a thank you wave!

I KNEW I should cut your ass off!

She should go to court and fight the ticket. It will be thrown out and the cop will look like a moron.

I doubt it. The headline makes it sound like she got a ticket for her speed, but in most states, the law she violated was using the left lane as a driving lane rather than a passing lane. Assuming that's the case here, the ticket is fine - the reporting is the shoddy part.

Wait...are you implying that the media might twist the facts a bit in order to sensationalize something?

Yeah it depends on the situation but this will help her cause:

"However, the woman noted the area was experiencing heavy winds at the time and she was only driving under the speed limit as a safety precaution. "

Hard to say without knowing all the details, but I doubt that a judge would let a ticket for going two miles under the speed limit stand.

That doesn't explain why she was doing it in the left lane. That's the real issue once you look past the media spin job here.

all the more reason she should have been in the slower lane. Who cares if their are high winds, that is, why does this change the fact that she was not in the correct lane? If she wants to go slower due to conditions, great, just do it in the right lane.
