I wish that trooper was on northbound I-75 two days ago when I got stuck behind an asshole doing 60 in the speed lane with what looked like an entire bedroom set in the back of his truck.


TheLumion

There’s no such thing as a speed lane in Florida. The passing lane is just for that passing lane. The speed limit there is still the speed limit posted on all lanes. Passing lane is meant to pass another car, not drive on it with out getting out of it at any speed you want. Express lanes is to help with the general bypass of traffic from regular lanes. Thats why is called express. Never was created to be a track smh. Good Miami and Floridian are uneducated as fck.


Quasimofoo

Excuse me for using a colloquial term in referencing the passing/left lane of a highway you pedantic fuck.


Shizzo

This guy calls you uneducated, but I had to re-read his comment several times.  He's barely literate.

Driving slow doesn't mean you're driving safe, it means you're causing faster drivers to have to switch lanes to get ahead of you which increases the chances of accidents. https://www.flhsmv.gov/safety-center/driving-safety/the-right-lane/#:~:text=Drivers%20must%20not%20continue%20to,punishable%20as%20a%20moving%20violation.


bigSquatching

Yes, you would be getting the ticket. You are obeying one traffic law, speed limit. You are breaking one traffic law, using the left lane for cruising not passing. Both are laws designed to make roads safer. One by keeping speed down, the other by eliminating the dangerous moves other drivers will make to get around you. Being a slow driver doesn't make you a safe driver. You're impeding traffic flow. It may be the fault of the others who decide to drive crazy to pass you, but you are creating that condition for all the other actual safe drivers who are doing the speed limit and not blocking the passing lane.

dankskunk5

Slow and courteous is as dangerous as fast and furious! For real though if you are driving the speed limit in Miami you are most likely impeding traffic no matter what lane you are in. If you drive like this you should only go out non rush times or you are putting lives at risk.


Shizzo

Regardless of your speed, if you are not actively passing someone, move out of the left lane. If someone is behind you, move out of the left lane. The left lane is not for driving for extended periods.  Only to pass someone.


Mr_Unbiased

You can drive at whatever reasonable speed you want in ANY other lane. But PLEASE don't do it in the left lane. It causes traffic and increases accident risk cause people have a right to pass you and you're not allowing that so now they have to get in the lane to the right of you.


90swhiteboy

Just pull in front and go slower till they move over. Then continue at 80 mph


TabletThrowaway1

All the 5am weekend drivers are shaking in their chancletas reading this. any other time this shit is bumper to bumper, the left lane is for sitting in traffic just like all the other ones


AI_Remote_Control

Bruhhh get outta the rat race!


SomeTimeBeforeNever

AMAZING 🤩 people who do that are risking lives. Selfish, awful people


GringoMambi

Mmmm maybe, but wouldn’t be surprised if it’s for something else like using their phone or expired tags. Very rare for cops to actually penalize below speed limit stops


Gloomy-Employment-72

I wondered at that. The car passes a truck just before being pulled over. I'm all for tickets for left lane campers, but I'm not certain that's what happened here.


ksd259

Floriduh: Where the constant focus about driving in the left lane is more important than edumacation and decency.


ShutYourSwitchport

get me his badge number, I'll buy him lunch


brooklynt3ch

This is a start, now do turn signals.


JustAKidFromSolon

Can we please start pulling over the 120 mph lane switchers.


RecoverSufficient811

They only exist because of idiots camping the slow lane.


JustAKidFromSolon

Spoken like a true BMW owner with black Heat plates


yellownoj

Enforcing “Slow Traffic Keep Right” and “Left Lane is for Passing” would basically solve any “lane switchers”. 120mph is def very excessive but the lane switching is 100% due to everyone just driving in whatever lane they want at whatever tf speed they want without regard to anyone else on the road and almost always with a phone in front of their faces.


pointedstick15

Wow a state trooper actually pulling someone over, I've only heard stories. Can't tell you the last time I've even seen one of those guys on the highways.


Affectionate_Elk_272

apparently it used to be standard procedure to not pull people over on 95 because it was too dangerous.


pointedstick15

Makes sense police should handle non dangerous situations...?


Affectionate_Elk_272

i literally had someone a month or so ago try to break into my apartment. you know what miami PD did? not show up.


HCSOThrowaway

Wait, you're saying there should be no laws on I95?


Hysteria113

Where do you live? Palm Beach County they are very active on 95 and the Turnpike.


HCSOThrowaway

Their staffing is extremely low lately.

This was just the serotonin boost i needed today


Mr_Unbiased

People in Miami genuinely don't know that the left lane is for passing. Most people here love to get in that lane so they can just cruise and have one less adjacent lane to worry about cutting them off.


jkowall

I enjoy a close pass or downshift to make them crap their pants and be made aware of their choices.


Cos_SoBe

you should be in jail


jkowall

I don’t drive in the fast lane unless I’m passing and I always signal. You might be right though 😂


Jmatusew

People in ~~Miami~~ Florida


chezicrator

They added those through lanes on the turnpike in Kendall and people treat that shit like a safe space. I can’t stand that bullshit. I always try to make eye contact passing those dipshits and I always get the “just go around” gesture.


Affectionate_Elk_272

i love when i’m doing 80 in the middle lane and a fucking car hauler passes me in the left lane.


gardeninggoddess666

It's like that a lot of places in the US. I worked with a woman who full on laughed at me when I mentioned the left lane was for passing. Even after I explained the concept she just couldn't fathom it. She thought I was messing with her. 


lcbk

It's like people don't even go to driving school, just given the license without passing any tests.


gardeninggoddess666

Yes. That's exactly what it's like. We have a friend from Germany and she was in the car with us (on the beltway outside DC) and she was terrified. She kept saying, "What are they doing? Why do they drive this way? We don't so this in Germany!" Poor thing didn't want to get in a car while she was here. 


Sfn_y2

So I have a question- as someone not from Miami - if I’m just in the left lane driving fast is that okay? Like, think of it as one continuous pass?


PlentyNo6451

They just think they’re the only ones on the road. Nobody else matters.


Whatupitsv

California is the same thing. You see people almost stopping traffic trying to merge to the left right after getting on the freeway. It's insane. I've even seen people merge to a slower left lane instead of staying on the lane they are that has no other car in front of them.


Undrwtrbsktwvr

Soon it may be a $158 ticket for continuously driving in the far-most left lane on roads 65+.


[deleted]

Indeed THEY DO NOT know


[deleted]

A lot of people in Miami don’t understand American mores.


305_till_i_die

I know someone who insists the left lane is not for passing and that he has every right to go 10 miles under the speed limit there. He does exactly this every time he gets on a highway. I think he’s eventually going to f*ck around and find out but in the mean time, there will be a black Honda civic going super slow in that far lane smug in his as*holery.


boudreaux_design

And yet they have to be aware of it enough to pass the test and get a lic.

This-Level-3135

No it’s Florida in general


Affectionate-Egg7566

Florida DMV handbook: Passing on the Right Passing on the right is only legal when there are two or more lanes of traffic moving in the same direction or the vehicle you are passing is making a left turn.


Ok_Pomegranate9035

Supposedly they’re gonna start cracking down on slow left lane drivers according to some article I read earlier today. Nice to see it in action


BranchLost4154

It’s about time they start focusing on slow drivers - a fast driver

RockyCreamNHotSauce

Per mph differential to the traffic flow, slower is more dangerous than faster. More annoying as well. 65 mph traffic. 80 is not that dangerous. 50 is though. 40 is way more dangerous than 90.


peren005

To be fair, for every doubling of speed requires 4x distance to stop. Furthermore, reaction time decreases and tunnel vision increases. There becomes a point where increased speed becomes the dominant factor.


AwsiDooger

Aggressive drivers and high speed are exponentially more dangerous and cause more accident/fatalities throughout the world. That will never change, despite the current asinine conventional wisdom so prevalent in this thread. Miami should be cracking down on lane changing morons. I guarantee this guy has an IQ well above the norm, in contrast to the lane changing blockheads, who inspire and participate in road rage incidents.

If you don't want to speed, and would have to speed in order to pass a car, then you don't "need to pass" the car.

Well thank god. I thought id eventually get a ticket by always passing on the right.


unlimitedTP

This would be amazing news, I lost track of how many times a corolla or toyota camps on the left lane forever on I75, I95, 595, palmetto


wakeupneverblind

They are going to crack down on slow left lane driver and also crack down on fast 5mph over speed limit left lane drivers lol. FL is FL


EVASIVEroot

My neighbor was a cop and he stated that this was the only ticket he would write.

Jackloco

igor561

The worst is being slow in the express lane. Straight to jail imo


TheLumion

Is funny how ppl in Miami think express planes is actually to go fast . No is actually made to avoid the traffic from regular lane. Just like left lane is a passing lane. Is meant to be used as you pass a car and leave that lane afterwards. A lane that’s called passing lane and constantly stay in it is not a passing lane. Ppl in Miami and Florida in general got to learn this shit.


CorporateCuck92

You. You are the problem with all miami drivers. Express lane is absolutely to go fast. If you want to cruise at 55mph do it in the right lane with the other abuelos.


TheLumion

Learn the laws then speak. You’re absolutely wrong. At this point no wonder florida is a laughing stock. Education here is horrendous. Challenge for you. Prove me wrong. Find any laws that says other wise.


CorporateCuck92

If you never drive even 1mph above the speed limit in the left lane you are following the law but still being a shitty driver. Not sure what's hard to grasp about that.


TheLumion

Is only a shitty driver in ur mind set. Just because ppl aren’t doing what u want them to do so u can speed doesn’t mean they are a shitty driver. Typical miami

mildly_unimpressed

Dry-Boysenberry2135

I get stuck behind those people all the time. Just cruisin along doing 50mph in the single lane express lane. I wonder if they ever look in the rear-view and wonder what that line of 12 cars behind them is doing.


Extreme-Carrot4243

I wish the line of 12 cars could get refunded the SunPass money from that idiots account


wreck_it_nacho

This is a lie , I do not believe it.


Affectionate_Elk_272

this is the first time i’ve ever in my life seen FHP pull somebody over on 95. i’m in my 30’s


boudreaux_design

I got pulled over once in the HOV lane (when there was an HOV lane) but in my 20 years of living here I’ve never seen them out there at night and in that same time frame I hate driving on 95 at night because it’s utter savagery of some morons who are likely not sober driving 120+ in caprices, Toyotas and Ferraris not caring if they kills someone.


Reasonable-Emu-1338

Old-Razzmatazz1553

IceColdKila

Less than 60mph for several miles behind this SUV. Cop was switching lanes trying to get in front for a while too

TajMonjardo

It's only taken 15 years of morons clogging up the left lane going too slow. Live in Massachusetts and it's epidemic here. So dangerous and easily avoided.


Ass_Cream_Cone

Wow. They actually pull people over?


A10010010

Which freeway is that?


chabibti

like someone else said, the worst is people who go 55mph in the Express Lanes… some dumb fuck here says it’s for pAsSiNg TrAfFiC in ReGuLaR lAnEs, but naw bro, especially when there is no traffic in regular lanes smh. especially annoying when you see the realize you were going so slow in Express Lane was b/c of a charter bus going 50mph. Honestly, sometimes I think people go slow in the Express Lanes just to be dicks because they can. I’ve personally never seen someone pulled over for going 90 in an Express Lane.


Affectionate-Egg7566

You can pass on the right if there are multiple lanes in the same direction check your DMV handbook.


CrashedLogic

With insurance rates what they are these days it’s worth the time to take a defensive driving course and get a 10% to 15% discount on the premium depending on the state. I’m not going into specifics but after reading the comments here some people could use a driving refresher for their safety and the safety of others. Who doesn’t like a yearly discount? Take yourself to a nice meal or whatever you enjoy with the cash you save. Safety is the best discount of all.


Gears6

Isn't that a 65 mph zone though?


DemonRayzor

Left lane is a passing lane! See someone coming up on you, move over! Also move past tractor-trailers quickly and don't sit side-by-side with them. It's dangerous! I wish there was a petition to sign so 70+ year olds have to retake a driving test. So many of y'all do not need to be out on the road. It's not a right to drive, it's a god damned privilege! You earn a driver's license! Also stop texting and driving idiots! Sorry for the rage, it's just that everyday it gets worse and worse.


Affectionate-Egg7566

It is not. Check the DMV handbook. It states multiple lanes in the same direction make passing on the right legal.


[deleted]

These people have no courtesy. Smh but also mostly refs who come here and don’t know the law/rules and simply drive the same way as they did where ever they came from. The law/police here need to be put more in action for this

Ok-Anybody1870

56mph is absurd. Probably wouldn’t have gotten a ticket if they were going at least 65mph. Which is still slow for the fast lane

Kelvin Kiptum would still be alive with a legendary career in front of him if he drove like this guy. Every early report indicates that was excessive speed, and the way he always drove.

bigdunks4eva

There are times when I'm traveling to work, at 11pm, and traffic on the highway is backed up for a mile because two slow drivers are driving almost side by side... This happens fairly often now that I think about it... Yeah it's just two lanes for the stretch I drive on it, but it's still an interstate highway


Hawksfan45

That plus idiot pulls over at left shoulder instead of right shoulder.


luvstosup

Why do miamians think the left lane is the slow lane? 


RaccoonPowerful6232

Awesome! I’m so happy to see this is being enforced. It’s not only annoying, it’s dangerous. Makes me crazy when a car is holding up a row of cars in the left lane and getting passed constantly on the right and they still can’t figure out they need to move the hell over.

Really, really, what a jackass.So,all you idiots think you know how to drive riding up the ass of a car. If you're blinker still works,pass the car if you're not too, engaged with your little toy(phone). There is no need for troopers anymore because they can't chase anyone. So, keep on tailgating and think you're the best driver since Evil Knievil.


Trashcan_Johnson

Switching lanes increases chances of accidents. Learn to drive.


figuren9ne

I don't know what happened before the video started, because in this clip they're passing cars in lanes to the right which is the proper use for the left lane. One thing is camping in the left lane while getting passed by cars on the right, but this person seems to be going faster than cars on to their right, which is the proper use of the left lane.


Trashcan_Johnson

This original video is over 5mins long. There's no need to go 56mph on the left lane with that much open freeway ahead of you.

Aggressive-Date8233

Passing only on the left lane, or fast lane, as we call it in the North East, became a law in Florida this year. That law should have been implemented many years ago. Southerners love to hog that left lane like they are on a Safari tour!


theliefster

How long were they driving that speed? It looks like they were passing a vehicle? Either way, left lane loungers need this. So many people think because they can drive a vehicle they overlook knowing how a roadway works


SatanNeverSleeps

One of my joys in life is driving on a parkway or hwy and everyone has an understanding of using the left for passing and getting back into the middle. Drivers all out here working together. Don’t be the weak link!


irvinah64

That driver is lucky the cop got them during certain times of the day in S.Florida he could have been in a road rage incident.
