That cop was following waaaay too close, given the road conditions.

But at least he busted the jerk for hogging the passing lane.

shoudl have pulled him over the minute he found him traveling in the left lane not actively passing someone

 

[chusteczka]

That cop was driving in an unsafe manner.
IMO, the van driver did not do anything wrong.

I was surprised the asshole van driver wasn't pulled over sooner.

 

[RapidSnail]

what did he get pulled over for in the end?

 

[sunzt]

pulled over for what?

 

[waggy]

wtf the van driver was a idiot.


maybe for speeding or passing on the right.

Perhaps, but I'll bet he was that close so he could get the guy's plate info to run a check prior to stopping him for not moving to the left. (or at least, that'd be MY argument if I was that cop)

Different laws in different states. Not all states have that lane being exclusive to passing.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passing_lane

Other examples, such as Massachusetts (General Statute 89-4B), New Jersey, Maine, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and others, make it illegal to fail to yield to traffic that seeks to overtake in the left lane, or to create any other "obstruction" in the passing lane that hinders the flow of traffic.

The cop was doing that to make a point, of which the oblivious moron failed the grasp for FAR too long.
And then he provoked the cop. Like a total idiot. Hope he got a ticket out of the ordeal.


I am not a cop, but I too will do that if the right lane is completely open or a guy in the left lane is traveling the same speed or, worse, slower, than traffic in the right lane.
I'll get quite close once I get to the point of frustration.


People are way too damn oblivious to multi-lane traffic laws (though also merely guidelines in some states, and rarely enforced anyway). I try my hardest to open some peoples eyes, and really try hard to never pass on someone's right, but dammit some people make it impossible to do anything else.

pulled over for what?

I'm betting it wasn't for the way he was driving, though I'm sure they tacked that on to whatever else they could stick him with.

That cop was already in the process of passing the van. There must have been a hit on the license plate or on the owner's name.

Even if NJ didn't have one, they do, it's still reckless driving.

Wonder if he noticed a lack of seat belt?

Perhaps he wanted to get alongside the van and then pull him over. Also, may have wanted to get a look at the driver for whatever reason.

In addition to any possible passing lane violation, I'll bet he got wrote for the brake check as well.

 

[chusteczka]

Maybe the van driver flipped the cop off as he drove past.

Meh, only a handful of states actually have the "passing only" law for the left lane.

 

[olds]

Fucking lazy cop should have pulled over the dipwad sooner.

 

[Newbian]

Video says it was in NJ and they do have such a law.

Still it wouldn't had mattered if you are doing reckless driving.

 

[randomrogue]

Reckless driving? Isn't that a stretch?

 

[chusteczka]

The cop was driving recklessly, not the van driver.

 

[Newbian]

Reckless driving? Isn't that a stretch?

Why would it be?

It's a act of just that and if you cause a accident from that you are to be blamed.
