Let's say I'm a police officer watching all this unfold. There's a row of cars going 70 in a 50 zone, then you wanted to pass someone that was doing 45 in the right lane. You pull into the left doing 50 and you stay there and the people doing 70 are coming up behind you.
If you were to move over, I'd give the guy doing 70 in a 50 zone a ticket because he was speeding.
However, if you stayed in the left after you'd pass and the line doing 70 approaches you and has to slow down because you refuse to move. I'd give both you and the people doing 70 a ticket.
You for obstructing the flow of traffic and the other guys for speeding.
I guess this is a pretty good reason why I'm not a police officer.
