Scott's Law: A New (Old) Reason To Pull You Over Options

[Kazz5]

If you fail to move over to the left lane when an emergency vehicle is on the shoulder with lights on you are breaking the law. It's a mandatory court appearance.

It's been on the books since '01. The warning-writing period is over. Beware. My wife just picked this up today. She'd slowed but didn't pull over so the cop jumped back in his car and tracked her down a few miles up the road. Who fucking knew?

Bored motherfucker, eh?

See now that's just stupid. In my mind its much safer for the guy in the right lane to just slow down and pass the cop car moving slowly than to come to a complete stop and try to merge into the left lane from a stop. In my mind the latter situation is more likely to cause an accident than the former. Why does it always seem like traffic cops are void of common sense?
