The article says no where how fast or slow this offender was going. If the "offender" was traveling the speed limit, then this office is completely wrong. Speed limit is that THAT .... L I M I T!!!! Any lane. Now, I can see if the speed limit is 65 and the offender is traveling 40 in the "fast lane." Then yes, there is justification. But if the "offender is traveling 65, she was not wrong ... EVERYONE ELSE IS. But YOU are probably one of those who think the law doesn't mean anything either! Drive any speed you want as long as you don't get a ticket! WRONG! You are still breaking the law!

The few times I've had to drive I-465 around Indianapolis, I've been caught in a whirwind of traffic. The speed LIMIT is 55, all the way around I-465 (Indianapolis). In order to keep from getting run over, I had to travel 85 in the SLOW lane! I finally said... SCREW THIS and slowed to 55 (in the right lane), and I swear everyone zoomed by me like I was standing still. AND THE L I M I T is 55!

I feel your pain and avoid interstates as much as possible, but the worse part are those with enough hate inside to want to do harm to you just for wanting to do the right thing. I'm seeing it more often than not with crime on an alarming increase.

What difference does it make which law you are violating? One is improper lane usage and one is over the speed limit. You are just as guilty stealing a candy bar or driving off without paying for your fuel at a convenience station. Just because the candy bar is cheaper does not make it right.
