And again, she was planning on making a left hand turn. There is no problem staying in the left lane when your turn is coming up, even if you piss off the car behind you, especially when the road is wet as it was that day and weaving in and out of a line of semis (which is a stupid idea even in ideal road conditions) just to appease some idiot in a hurry could result in you wrecking yourself.
If she was riding the left lane for five miles going 10 under the limit then yeah you'd have a point. But seeing as her turn was coming up in a short distance and she was moving at a reasonable speed given the conditions, you don't.
The only thing she did wrong honestly was filming the whole thing because that is distracted driving. Otherwise, I see no problem with what happened and obviously FHP didn't either. |
The video is almost 2 minutes long. How long was this going on before she decided to take her phone out, turn the camera on and record? By the speed of the vehicles, and the length of the video (even though she obviously was in the left lane longer because she needed to get her phone out to make a video) so I would guess at least 2 1/2 miles of her just cruising in the left lane. That's far to long, to get over to prepare for a turn. Was she really planning on making a turn? No way to know for sure. I honestly think no she was just covering her ass.
