Comment on Passing on the right on a highway

There’s a cop in Wells, Nevada that likes to drive ten under the speed limit and then pull people with out of state license plates over for “passing a cop”. So, y’know, a lot of traffic rules are arbitrary.

Passing a cop is illegal?

  Limit’s 55. I’d be doing 55. He was doing 45. He wrote 70 on the ticket. It was cheaper to pay than to travel 800 miles to contest the ticket, which had to be done in person. So yeah, he made it illegal.

    And was probably just waiting for you to lose your cool so he could make it much worse for you

    Oh definitely. Dad made us do martial arts at the local police captain’s dojo so we knew how to handle ourselves around police. Also because he needed to bribe them after taking a wrongful death case against a local cop and they kept pulling him over for “broken” taillights. It was an enlightening experience.
