That hasn't been touched upon specifically, and it's a great point. Like you, as much as I hate to what I refer to as left lane campers, and frustrated as I'd be behind her, I can't fault her per se. I can only cuss her out in my head and wish she would get the hell out of my way.

I don't mind disagreement; with one or two exceptions, every response I've gotten thus far has been in disagreement with me. What I mind is the stupidity and the inability to actually think critically. About half of disagreeing replies have been such, but the other half, including yours, have been good, solid,

I understand the danger of passing on the right, and honestly, were that the only real issue in the context here, I wouldn't be bothered. But there are other factor involved that, in context, don't justify the actions of the cop, and certainly don't justify a ticket. The weather, the gray area of using personal

I don't mind at all. You're actually capable of not only presenting a perspective, but acknowledging an alternative perspective and addressing it point for point with a high degree of rationality and intelligence. I still don't agree with your argument per se, but I do acknowledge that it certainly has fair points,

Where's that little picture of the graph that shows a point in the far corner, labelled "point," and an curved line going in an entirely different direction that is labelled "you?"

Yes she was obeying the traffic laws, and you have entirely missed the point. See my other reply to you.

Wow, that's three times in a row that you entirely missed the point. Would you like to go for a fourth time, or just give up while you're behind? If you have any question as to what the point was, see my response to you elsewhere. Or read the original comment again. It was pretty clear.

For the second time in as many responses to me, you miss the point entirely. Slower traffic is obligated to stay right, but by the same justification, traffic is obligated to obey posted speed limits. If she was at or near enough to the speed limit that she was unable to discern any deviance from said speed limit due

No, if someone is tailing you, you are not necessarily required to move over. And in this instance, factors affecting driving conditions are more significant than the speed of traffic itself due to, in case you haven't yet made the connection, the driving conditions.

I did read the article. And I'm well aware of the nature of the ticket. But to give that ticket, he had to provide justification for it. And the point is this: given the context of the situation, his justification is insufficient, and thus his actions were inappropriate.

I agree, and I would have no issue with that. I don't object to the existence of diplomatic immunity per se, but rather to the extent to which it is occasionally abused. I wouldn't mind if the diplomat's son got off the hook for unintentionally causing an accident because he was unfamiliar with different merging laws

You're right in that it's not her place to enforce traffic laws. But, on the other hand, it is not the place of others to pressure her to violate traffic laws, and neither is it the place of the police to punish her for obeying traffic laws. As for the speed limit on I-95, where is it 70 mph, out curiousity? The

I drive on I95 everyday; I know what the speeds average. But the average speed in this instance is irrelevant. She should not have been punished for obeying the law, particularly in potentially dangerous weather conditions. Period.

I'm not a traffic lawyer, but I would disagree with that to a certain extent. The officer had to cite a reason for giving that particular ticket, and if he actually had the balls to write 63 in a 65, he's out of line, particularly in the context of the driving conditions at the time that the ticket was given. As for

For the record, there was nothing positive about that particular story. While the concept of enforcing traffic laws in order to create a safer and more efficient driving environment is laudable and admirable, what that particular cop did was a demonstration of poor judgment. That was not an appropriate way to enforce

Travis, you how sometimes we have those moments where we radically disagree on something?

There is a fair point in the suggestion that perhaps a female presenter might not be a bad idea, but I would be very, very scared for her for a number of reasons, particularly on a show that has been around as long as TGUK.

Shhhh!!!

Soul is not a term I would strictly associate with Italian automakers; particularly of late. Soul is a term I've always ascribed to Kustom Kulture, where guys look at something that exists and see not what it is, but what it can be; and they take that imagination and use it to build unique and expressive works of

I know. I admit to having laughed before I knew that the driver was okay, but I couldn't help it. There's just something so entirely amusing about the whole "now you see it, now you don't!" vibe that comes from the gif. It's just there one second, and completely gone the next. It's like a douchier form of the old
