+1 I am with you, OP. The Park Police needs to be fired en masse and a whole bunch of light shined on that horrible institution!

I was pulled over once on the GW for driving too slow. When I told them that I slowed down because they were behind me they let me go.

You are completely and entirely wrong. Read all of the links in this thread, please.


The rest of the thread does not matter and I am entirely right.

This is why we have so many people breaking the law in VA - people choosing to be ignorant. They ignore the fact that it’s the law in VA. Hope you all get tickets for this.

Stay TF to the right and pass left.


You’re not listening and you failed your class in logic. You’re not allowed to speed, period, no matter what lane you’re in. Sorry that other’s are slowing you down.



It’s not about speed, it’s about relative speed. He pulled her over for being in the wrong lane. She shouldn’t be sitting the the left lane, she should allow others to pass.

Is this really the “logic” of the a$$hats who clog up the left lane?

Stay right and pass left. This is a basic rule of the road. If you can’t handle this get off the road before you kill someone.

Granted I've been pulled over 4-5 times for exceeding the speed limit, but it was at speeds lesser than 25mph and it was over the course of 20 years. I don't know how that compares to most people in this area though. The other charges were for things like obstructed tag, tail light out, no hands-free device....but I've never gotten a ticket for driving the posted speed limit. Or for traveling in the left lane..mabybe because I was driving a bit faster in other instances...idk


You’ve sure been pulled over a lot for a lot of different violations. I grew up in this area and have been driving since I was 16 (30s now) and in those nearly 20 years I have been over exactly once and given a warning.

Me to the cop:

"I'm terribly sorry officer" and try to end the encounter as soon as possible with as little said as possible.

Totally agree – partly why I thought it was a weird troll at the beginning. After reading through, I learned she was just a horrendous and clueless driver.

LOL so you can exceed the posted speed limit as l9ng as you are in the correct lane.


You can pass at any safe speed, as long as you are maintaining the speed limit in (get this) THE PROPER LANE. Are you really this dense? Maybe you should not be on the road, at all.

Oh, I know. It’s like all the conversations have to come to a grinding halt and we can’t talk about anything else, right???

Get a grip.

What’s going on in the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder is terrible, and there are only about a bijillion threads on DCUM alone talking about it.

But c’mon. Check your sanctimony at the door...
