Left-lane driving (was PA Turnpike News)

[allniter89]

My cousin got a ticket for using the left lane in NJ, according to the cop the law only applies to roads other than the turnpike.

I wonder what makes the turnpike special?  I've never seen anyone pulled over for camping in the left lane in NJ.  Most who encounter a trooper move out of the way.  Although, I once paced along  as a trooper tailgated a left lane bandit for 7 miles on I-80.  Obviously the guy was not paying attention, as no one would be dumb enough to not move over for a cop.  Eventually the trooper put on his lights and I thought he was gonna pull over the LLB, but no.  He moves the van over two lanes into the right lane, turns off his lights, darts right out into the left lane and takes off.  Never stopped the vehicle or anything.  I'm sure it scared the hell out of the driver though.

There was a video of a NJ Trooper "escorting" a left lane hog to the far right lane of a 3 lane hwy then once he get the car into the the right lane the trooper goes on with his business. I searched and cant find the video on U Tube or LiveLeak.com.
I have the video saved in MyDocuments on a FLV file but I dont see a way to post it here.
Left lane hogs drive me NUTS, and it is a frequent problem here. After scaring the hell out of my mom with my road rage I just sit back and not worry about now figuring nothing I do is going to change the dumbazzes and I'm not in that much of a hurry anyway.

I've seen that video before.  That was filmed on I-80 further east (terrible filming, BTW).  I thought that was great when I saw it.  I never thought I'd witness something like that first-hand though.  It was one of those instances where I wish I had a video camera in order to capture it.

I found that video, (follow link below then) page 2, 14th post from the top. I think it is hilarious! signalman already warned of the poor camera work, its very shaky and jerky I almost get motion sickness but you still get the gist of it. Thanks to member 6a, the OP
