    That's not a happy ending, they didn't stop the ignorant prick! Although I would need to be assured there is actually a lane system in the states beyond "pick one and carry on" based on my brief encounters.

    I was hoping the occupant would get dragged from the car and flogged.

    Thats just shows that many people know how to use a motorway, but don't give to shíts.

    Great and all as the copper is for shoving him into the correct lane, did he have to go right up is arse to make his point? The lights and sirens can have the same effect without having to be a few feet from the back bumper.

    In fairness, it's sort of a case of left lane technically being the fast lane, but really you can use whatever lane you like - there's no such thing as undertaking either.

    As well, Interstates/freeways tend to have 5+ lanes either side, it's not like you've no other option to pass them

    The car with the camera undertaking <=> the idiot in the outside lane???:confused::confused::confused:

    There's no lane system in the US so there was no under taking etc in that video, nor could the guy have been ticketed or fined apart from maybe some sort of obstruction.

    You clearly do not know the US system. They were not undertaking.

    About a month ago i was driving northbound on the m50 in rush hour. Everyone was going 100 - 110kph and a garda van came along in outside lane doing about 120kph and had all the lane hoggers moving out of the right most lane. No sirens just drove up behind them and everyone moved.

    As we approached the Lucan exit the van then went across to the left most lane and got all the lane cutters out of the way that were trying to skip the queue to get off.

    Then proceeded to move back over to clear the right hand lane hoggers again.

    Ok, first of all, the civic was / is in the wrong

    But people are overlooking the fact the the cop is driving very dangerously and abused his position by pretending to pull the guy over so he could get around him

    They are both dickheads!
