[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again, 22:40...I only questioned him because he said I was driving too slow in the left lane, but I was driving the [b]posted[/b] speed limit of 50mph. If the argument is that left lane drivers can drive at a higher rate of speed to keep up with the flow of traffic, then who decides how fast is too fast? I got a speeding ticket in DC last year for driving 40 mph in a 25mph
zone, but I had no idea the posted speed limit was 25mph because the sign was completely obstructed. When I went before the hearing officer to challenge the ticket, she said that 
the default speed limit everywhere in DC was 25 mph, unless otherwise posted. With that information in mind, I didn't think I'd ever be penalized for driving the posted speed limit. Had I been driving 60 mph in the left lane on that same stretch of road, a different, less hurried officer may have very well pulled me over for speeding. [/quote]
You clearly need to read all the links above. And pay more attention since you had no idea someone was behind you looking to pass and that it was a cop, FFS.[/quote]
