Today coming home on highway 20 which is a road safe to do 50-55 but only has 2 places safe to pass. Today tho, we were in a long line of blocked traffic due to a few young people in a small sedan. they were having fun slowing traffic to 20 MPH.
Next I know the blinking lights were clearing traffic until he got behind the little sedan.. the State Patrol turn off the lights prior to getting behind them, followed them for about a mile, trying to pass they blocked the lane, then the lights came back on.
Next wide spot they pulled over, as did the SP.
Then we all got to pass.

It is illegal to block more than 5 vehicles in Wa.

Great to hear! I see this all the time and it's so aggravating.....and yes, the people blocking the lanes frequently are traveling under the posted speed limit and seemingly oblivious to the fact that they're clogging the road. It creates bad situations as there are many others who go full on "road rage" in these situations.

I won't bother to address the speeding issue. It's a different subject IMO.
Thanks for posting as I'm happy to hear that someone actually witnessed a WA LEO tag one of these offenders. I know they do patrol for it, but it sure is a frequent offense from what I see.
