Left Lane for Passing Only Call Out

(For licensing / usage, please contact [e-mail])
A Plumbing van was blocking the passing lane for a few minutes(10 minutes before the start of the video) on the Interstate without giving me an opportunity to pass, so I decided to give them a courtesy call. He was going between 60-70 averaging low 60s, speed limit is 70 mph.

He should learn the law, vans travel at 60mph on duel carriageways & cars are allowed to travel at 70mph. Most commercial class of vehicles must obey slower speed limits on most roads. It's not that they want to drive that slow, it's because they have to or face possible infringements on their licences.

[@connorokeeffe958]

+chris77777777ify Then he shouldn't stick in the left lane at that speed

[@azureander5487]

I shouldn't have to call and ask you to follow the basic rules of the road. Should I also call everytime you dont use your blinker? Or cross over solid white and yellow lines? Or how about running red lights? Or driving at night with no headlights on? Fuck you for thinking any of this is ok. Driving is an extremely serious exercise and if you cant remember the most simple of rule books(drivers handbook is 24 pages long with color illustrated pictures) then turn in your license and save us all the trouble

[@azureander5487]

@@chris77777777ify bullshit excuse. If hes that worried about speeding, then he should NEVER EVER BE IN THE LEFT LANE. He also could have slowed down and gotten back behind the semi truck. This is laziness and entitlement, and dont try to defend this kind of shit again

[@stellacarr4515]

@chris77777777ify i apologize for the mean comments from other people here; anyways according to US law, you must follow the speed limit, but there is also lane etiquette which is just recently starting to be enforced in some states lane etiquette means you must keep right except to pass, it doesnt matter how slow or fast youre going. The left lane is only a passing lane, not a fast lane or cruising lane. e.g. you could be going 150mph but if the road is clear, you must stay on the rightmost lane

[@somethingepic777]

Last time i was a passenger in someone elses car, the driver kept camping in the passing-lane going the speed-limit. This type of thing upsets me greatly...to the point that he didnt notice the cop creeping up behind us because we were arguing about his being in the wrong lane. Cop pulled us over and asked if we knew why we were being pulled over; driver said no and i said i had an idea why we got pulled over. Driver sat there for another 10minutes and continue to argue with me AND the cop about how he was going the speed-limit and was passing trucks (mind you, this is on a freeway with 3+ lanes going in each direction). Long story short, driver got a ticket and the cop had us switch seats (so i was behind the wheel). When he went to court to fight it, he argued with the judge for nearly 20minutes before the judge threatened to find him in contempt of court and a license-suspension pending so many hours of drivers-training.

[@basswarnow]

As a German, this is a very fringe situation to me. Here you get honked at and tailgated if you occupy the left lane 5 seconds longer than neccessary - and rightfully so. Thinking of it, you get tailgated at any speed below 250.

[@kokorosenshi]

I hate it when people tailgate me even when I'm not in the passing lane. That's why I slow down way below the speed limit. It's unsafe to tailgate other cars and the laws state you have to be a certain distance away from other cars depending on how fast you're going. Rule of thumb, 40 miles means 4 cars apart.

[@stevehudson6695]

yep youre right people who slow down like that have serious road rage issues and cause many more accident than anyone behind them ever will. As a paramedic for 11 years and an EMt for 3 more, ive seen a ton of these assholes on the roads and with many accidents caused. when you put them on a stretcher they suddenly aren't so damn stupid when they're begging for help.

I had that same situation for 15 miles along that same stretch of road. Me and 20 other cars were stacked. Unfortunately for me the truck wasn't a commercial vehicle with a phone number on it (so clever!). A few performance cars were able to scoot around him on the right and that still never clue'd him in. How can anyone drive 15 miles and not get a clue. Against my usual "never use my horn" policy I decided it was time for the annual golden buzzer! After 15 miles a 2 mile long opening happened on the right. I was first in line, which of course means all the other cars behind me peal off in a way that cuts me off. So I'm the last one. I wait a bit longer and he still hogs the left lane, still clueless. I take my time passing him on the right with only about a 5mph gain and lay on the horn the entire time for 1/8th mile afterwards. Watching in the rear view mirror he still does not pull right until about another mile rolls by.

@Machine Keep right except to pass signs or not stating the law of that "area", the law exists everywhere on every road in the United States.

All of this is ignorance created because parents teach kids how to drive and scared Daddy's say just try to get in one lane and stay there to try to get more Lane and stay there and instead of teaching kids to change lanes like we are legally required to by law we have people that are taught in masses to get in one lane and stay there

[@nickphillips2125]

Thank you for posting. After having drove cross-country for 15 years, I've seen hundreds of these 'left lane hogs' and I'm convinced that many are unaware that they're impeding the flow of traffic and that by doing so are creating a dangerous situation... hence the reason blocking the left lane is against the law in a majority of States. A simple rule-of-thumb for highway travel that allows everyone to get to their destination comfortably is, "lead, follow or get out of the way". According to CBS news, 38 states have laws on the books to punish slow drivers squatting in the passing lane, in five of those states the fine is upwards of $1000. Let's all be safe.

[@BrassStacks]

Nick Phillips , You're right, they're was recently an article on Jalopnik (I think it was) that talked about the very thing. So many people don't have a clue. I personally think we need to require people to take the written test every 5 years and the driving test every 10. Driving test must include highway driving as well.

[@invictusdomini8624]

If the max speeding ticket statutorily is $1000, it should be at least $500 per car behind the left lane rider at time of pull over. Ones with ten cars behind them would get slapped with a $5000 fine.

[@jakewilson3982]

To be considered a Slow driver you must be going like 20 below the posted limit. It doesn't count for ppl who are going the speed limit activity passing. Just because you want to speed doesn't mean the people in front of you have to yield to you. I'm fact the laws in most states support you having to yield to them.

[@nickphillips2125]

@@jakewilson3982 You're missing the point, anyone interfering with the flow of traffic is a hazard... and, once again, it is a matter of courtesy to simply move out of the way. You cannot justify one person driving 50 mph in the left lane while everyone else is traveling at 70 mph.... It is obvious that one person is an obstruction

[@jakewilson3982]

@@nickphillips2125 it's not obvious at all. Impeding the flow of traffic would be if he were going 55 in a 70, but it's obvious he's going 70 in a 70mph zone because he's passing everything in the right lane. The antsy speeders are the problem here. Impeding speeders isn't ticketable.

Passing at that slow of a rate is stupid. Speed up a bit for the pass, especially since they were going mid-60's for a lot of this in a 70MPH zone in an area where people will easily pass that limit (I know this highway). And when there's a gap like after they passed the black semi, move over so the line of cars can pass you up and be on their merry way less annoyed. Don't stay in the passing lane just barely "passing" the cars in the right lane at your leisure. I get stuck behind people like this all the time that are "passing", but never move over and they are going at such a slow rate that they collect a line and people start rage passing on the right.

[@catcher2473]

But as the description states, if correct on speed, the driver was impeding traffic. The left lane is for passing; that means getting around the cars in the right lane and then going back into the right lane yourself. The left lane IS NOT for driving consistently, it is used for passing. By passing the others cars while going below the speed limit, you are impeding the flow of traffic, thus possibly causing backups. The funny thing is, the van sped up some when he got around the tractor-trailers (may not be correct, but it seems like it to me).

[@ottotater2787]

All Lanes to the left of the rightmost lane are for passing only but calling "THE" left lane, as if there's only one left lane or only one passing lane, is inconsistent with law. (United States) the law is drive in the rightmost lane and pass to the left and every state has that law because it is a federal requirement that you state has that law and it's called Uniform Rules of the Road which does not allow one state to have left hand drive in that state and it is why States such as Montana that want to have no speed limit have been denied the full ability to do that by being denied Federal highway funds for not being consistent with Federal highway law. Considering this posting does not specify what state it is so I can only just randomly pick some states to example the point but Michigan MCLA 257.634 GA 40-06-40 FL 316.086 (2) TN 55-8-115 AZ 28-721 (b) This is not a short list of the states that have keep right except to pass laws because every state has a keep right except to pass law. so, keep right except to pass. the point being never impede faster vehicles so that's my response to the call out. Always drive faster than traffic to your right and always drive slower than traffic to your left and never impede faster traffic, it's the law.

Just because the van wasn't going as fast as you wanted it to go doesn't mean it wasn't using to left lane to pass. The van didn't move into the right lane just because you called him. He moved there because he just got done passing the two trucks. Was the van supposed to squeeze between the two trucks? As far as stepping on it to pass faster, being a company vehicle it was, perhaps that van had a speed limiter like the big rigs have. You just need to understand that with speed limits and traffic volume on the rise, you can't always get through. Would you rather be in California where it's still 55 for trucks? But at least you weren't tailgaiting and blasting your horn like so many other oafs do.

[@craigtomlinsonct]

I hate lane hoggers but it looks in the video quite fast, so I'd say on or around the speed limit. He was overtaking, but slowly as was on the speed limit perhaps?? Then if so, was ok to stay there to overtake the next vehicle, slowly, as to pull into the right lane would endanger the truck he'd just overtaken. Or can the poster confirm if was noticeably below the limit? I hate lane hoggers but if I'm overtaking on or around the speed limit and someone's behind me flashing me to move over as they are speeding, I purposely take longer so as to educate them the speed limit. It just looks the same. Stalemate??

[@jimpemberton]

I want to thank the guy for being kind to the driver who was blocking the left lane. Most of the time people would have been twice the jerk as the guy blocking the left lane and threatened his life with their own vehicle by following too closely.

[@evilkawhi4438]

This is what jerks do on the highway. Speed on the left lane... and demand everyone get out of their way when there's barely any traffic on the road.

[@azureander5487]

THEN.GET.OUT.OF.THE.LEFT.LANE

[@booterone1]

I see more truckers pulling this more than cars. Truck A is passing truck B and is going One mph faster than the truck he’s trying to pass. The very worst took almost 15 miles to complete the pass.

[@dnascrap]

Not seeing this van do anything wrong except for passing people... What's the point of this? Most likley he was gonna get over after that semi anyways...

[@buckdesystem4562]

Tradesmen's van are absolutely the worst. They tend to forget that when they are going from job to job, they are sharing the road with the public, it's just part of the job site to them. They are always the worst in turning on headlights in the rain or at dusk too.

[@davidking3311]

Oh,Please, everyone look at me being soo noble ...

[@lydiacapps709]

@Hello David how are you doing

[@benlepoidevin7047]

KP Plumbing? That's Karl Pilkingtons plumbing company

[@dane714]

Looks to me like he was passing. He promptly returned to the granny lane after passing the two slower trucks. Caller is a pinhead.

[@thomaskirkpatrick4031]

I don't see the problem, the van was doing what you're supposed to do in the left lane, pass other cars or trucks.

[@GeoffMarcusBaxter]

Give this man reddit gold

[@BadMannerKorea]

He was moving faster than the traffic on the right and he was passing people. Nothing illegal about what the van was doing.

[@crazylector]

If its for a long time + below speed limit the left laner is annoying indeed. In germany tho you get tailgated on the left lane regardless the speed limit the moment you dare step on it. Thats annoying aswell.

[@MoonLiteNite]

USA should do like germany. If you get passed on your right, YOU get the freakn ticket

[@michaelchampagne4366]

The police leave so much money on the table without giving these jerks a ticket dash cam shows this car in the left lane not passing that's a guilty plea to me

[@truffleshuffle009]

He maybe not had been going as fast as the driver who called the number would have liked but he was not breaking the law as he was passing the slower semis that were in the right lane. The caller was lucky they took the phone call in stride and did not cuss him out like I would think most people would have done lol.

[@LightShady]

I hope that was a hands-free

[@EliteStricker]

Hate left lane huggers, funny whenever I get over and their still in the left passing lane and I catch up to them

[@Name-io6dk]

the video is more authentic if the driver of the van is passed then suddenly tries to keep up with the people who passed him

[@jerroddooley374]

You don't need to drive that truck any faster. Be safe and stop whining

[@247mack11]

It a dam shame that u have to for that just to get where u trying to go

[@maliant16]

I guarantee it was a female driver. 99% of the time when this happens to me that’s the case.

[@jcope3886]

Not seeing the issue. Dude was passing people. It's what you do in the left lane. Sometimes, when you're only doing 5-10 over, you don't get back into the right when you're about to have to get back over in less than 5 seconds... just like in the video. And, hey, about the time you called, he was clear to get over. So it looks like you wasted your time calling and almost went off the road for nothing. Kind of reminds me of a jerk I had behind me in a 35mph constructiom site in Atlanta. I was doing 70 in the left lane (right lane was around 45-55) and steadily passing people. jerk still pulled up behind me and flashed at me like I was going too slow in the left lane. Why this was on Break, I have no idea.

[@YuriyBilousov]

Drivers need to be reminded about basic shit from dmv handbook. They misinterpret road rules (because mah pa taught me dis way). Most drivers I encounter here in Florida need psychological help. Driving turns them into aggressive and dangerous idiots.

[@JCunningham21]

looks like the guy in the van was passing 2 trucks then moved over when he was done.

[@wshtb]

Something got stuck? Call the plumber!

[@jasmith0523]

damn glad I watched this.

[@lydiacapps709]

@Hello Jacob how are you doing

[@scarboroughhs]

This has to be Texas, if you can't do 80 outside of city limits you need to move over. Fellow Texas resident...

[@shuthemoody]

Buc-cee's billboard.

[@saintofconsequence]

Two kinds of drivers: Those who think the speed limit can be ignored, and those who don't.

[@berserker4262]

And those who sit in the left lane even when it is only for passing.

[@saintofconsequence]

+Berserker 42: Do note that the white van was passing. Not sure what speed white van is going. If the van was going the speed limit, they were in the right. Those that complain are those that i mentioned don't care about the speed limit. Those that care about the speed limit would not have issue with a vehicle making legal passes at the legal speed limit.

[@thomascatification]

And a third: those who value their time and know that the speed limit is enforced by police, and not until at least +10.

[@intruder313]

A courteous courtesy call, but I hope it was hands-free or it was a very bad move.

[@wildgurgs3614]

intruder313 I know people who would've been on top of him in 2s flat 😂 Tbh the poster handled that well

[@boldflyer_creations]

What else can one say but, "PRICELESS!" I wish I could do that to every hammer-lane camper...That was great.

[@lydiacapps709]

@Hello Dana how are you doing

[@boldflyer_creations]

@@lydiacapps709 Well, Lydia, I'm fine...You, on the other hand, started a KZbin channel about ten days ago for the express purpose of asking men how they're doing in the comment sections of various videos. For some reason, you're trying to establish a rapport with multiple random men via KZbin and that, Lydia, is shady shady shady, young lady. Best of luck with whatever underhanded, money-grabbing scheme in which you're currently engaged, Miss Lydia Capps...Just leave me the hell out of it...And Lydia, don't respond to this and certainly don't go away mad...Just go away.

[@Joseph-fy2gn]

I'm pretty sure that music is copyrighted

[@saintofconsequence]

Which state is this? Because using the left lane only for passing isn't nationwide or worldwide law.

[@berserker4262]

It is Texas, where it is a law.

[@RobertPlattBell]

It always amazes me that people with the name of their business on the side of their vehicle will drive so poorly. You are advertising your business and at the same time telling everyone what an inconsiderate jerk you are. Gee, I want to hire your company! I can only guess how you treat your customers!

[@lydiacapps709]

@Hello Robert how are you doing

[@elektro3000]

This is beautiful, almost brought a tear to my eye!

[@kdwaynec]

Someone should enact legislation to require all drivers to display phone number on their vehicle
