Some white knuckles and some blue air.<br /><br />Buck: I don't mind getting stuck behind a farm implement. That's a person working to feed his family and the rest of the country.<br /><br />Mauser*Girl: Guess I hadn't thought about that. Scratch that one from the list, then. Far be it from me to get annoyed when my fellow citizens are following a traffic regulation, for a change.Dave (aka Buckskins Rule)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07764864394651709866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7333690107350492364.post-73938392532319808472009-08-18T12:43:05.167-07:002009-08-18T12:43:05.167-07:00I am with you on most of them, with the exception ...I am with you on most of them, with the exception of #6.<br /><br />I don't know what the laws are where you live, but I do know that many states recently changed their laws regarding passing stopped police vehicles, such as when an officer has pulled someone over by the side of the road.<br /><br />In my state, I am required to merge into the lane furthest from the stopped police vehicle, if the road I am on has more than two lanes. If it does not, I am supposed to slow to 20mph below the posted speed limit - so if I'm on the Interstate (speed limit 65), I have to slow to 45 when passing a police officer who has pulled someone over, if I cannot merge into a lane further from him.<br /><br />So yes, if the officer has someone pulled over, you DO need to slow down below the normal speed limit.Mauser*Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574537076084578786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7333690107350492364.post-47680907614936427392009-08-18T11:49:45.930-07:002009-08-18T11:49:45.930-07:00Heh.

I'm often reminded that life ...Heh. Me likey!<br /><br />I'm often reminded that life in the sticks has <i>some</i> bennies... like beng able to drive 80 mph nearly everywhere... in the company of like-minded souls. Well, except for the odd slow-moving farm implement, of course. But they're few and quite far between... and always move off the road if there's room.Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7333690107350492364.post-75227127898378030582009-08-17T23:44:44.096-07:002009-08-17T23:44:44.096-07:00You left out one: If you're pulling your hors...You left out one: If you're pulling your horse trailer, cutting you off or pulling out in front of you is a bad, bad idea.<br /><br />I was hauling a load of firewood one day in my truck and a couple of teenaged boys pulled out in front of me. It was quite nearly their final mistake. A vehicle under load is difficult to stop quickly.Gordon Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16772014586181361069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7333690107350492364.post-44661138568138702952009-08-17T21:51:41.595-07:002009-08-17T21:51:41.595-07:00moan moan moan!moan moan moan!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
