'Hero' :HTrooper did his Job ---enforcing a Law that has been on the books since 2015Glad lady got caught and citation issued.But the 'Hero' part is a bit too much

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!

He'd probably be given a parade if he worked in Minnesota.

The "Hero" bar is pretty low.However he did the right thing my pulling her over.Too many drivers get in the left lane and cruise all day with no regard to what's going on behind them.What's equally as bad is a line of cars tailgating one another and going 80 mph.

I've got mixed feelings about left-lane laws. Around here, the right lanes are usually beat to heck with patches and other bumps, and the less used left lane is smoother sailing.Small towns like to "bottleneck" highways and use it as their main-street, so there's a lot of enter/exit traffic in the right lane. If I'm passing through I keep left.
