Good to see aggressive assholes getting caught. Too bad they didn't get the other car.

When I think i'm in a safe place to speed (not race), I always look up to see if there are any LE aircraft.

so do I... eventho there are few cars.. I don't want them to think im an jackass lol so i slowly pass them and speed

[anthoj]

I'm not sure I agree with what the narrator cop on the video. They were speeding, yes, and the shoulder pass was reckless, but they were definitely not street racing. And when the cop said "ooowww....almost hit a car", that's not true either. He just did a normal pass. The guy on the leftmost lane should've moved over to the right seeing a car that came up fast behind him.

With that said, yes, those kids probably deserve to get arrested for the shoulder pass and the "alleged" drinking.

Waste of my tax dollars, sorry. I prefer they actually go bust criminals ie rapists, murderers, gangbangers, drug dealers.

lol... lets meet up all the e90post nw member and do some shoulder pass together

Sorry to bust the bubble, but I thought it would be pretty basic knowledge that you can't do that. Just in case, here's the link:

The same rule applies in CA FWIW.

thanks for the heads up. but you do know that the link you posted is for washington county MINNESOTA? When you get a ticket, the LEOs tend to use local laws not some other states. Yes, CA might have the same, but thats because Cali adopted it...not because its Universal. In MA, DRIVING on the right shoulder is allowed on the highway during rush hour times. So its not basic knowledge that you can't do that.

Oh, and check this out....

"RCW 46.61.115
When overtaking on the right is permitted.


(1) The driver of a vehicle may overtake and pass upon the right of another vehicle only under the following conditions:

(a) When the vehicle overtaken is making or about to make a left turn;

(b) Upon a roadway with unobstructed pavement of sufficient width for two or more lines of vehicles moving lawfully in the direction being traveled by the overtaking vehicle.

(2) The driver of a vehicle may overtake and pass another vehicle upon the right only under conditions permitting such movement in safety. Such movement shall not be made by driving off the roadway."

Not exactly passing on the left shoulder but this goes against what the MN law says, and this is for Washington State.

well, I am not suggesting we all go out and do that....but to waste thousands of tax payer dollars on something that is not really illegal per current statutes seems wasteful.

[98005xi]

I gotta say....SLAP ME SILLY doh! I forgot the actual CA vehicle code, but it does address passing on both shoulders and that it is illegal at speed, unless directed to by police officer or performed by said police officer.

As far as WSP's concern, I gotta say that I'm hard pressed to argue with you. Good fact checking!

But I got some ???s:

1a) Last time I checked, there's really no place to make left turns on an interstate unless it's someplace rural. As far as city driving, I don't see anyone getting away with pleading this defense to a WSP, right?
1b) I can't recall ever seeing a shoulder wide enough for 2 lanes of traffic, unless it was freshly widened freeway sections that just have't been restriped yet.

I can't for the life of me wrap my head around MA tho. If it's rush hour and anyone can drive on the right shoulder, merging and even just plain driving must be just wreckless and insanely chaotic. Is it?

Fun topic to talk about, especially for this CA transplant (been in WA for 5 years now). Can anyone tell me why WSP angles their patrol cars diagonally when pulling over someone on the freeway? Is it to direct the vehicle away from car and officer if it gets rear-ended?

Compared to CA, I think WA does a damn good job of spending tax payer money. Even WSDOT seems to get projects done in 1/4 of the time and it looks way better. I've been extremely impressed by that. They even work in rain or snow. CALTRANS are about the laziest bunch of bozos around.

RCW 46.61.428
Slow-moving vehicle driving on shoulders, when.


(1) The state department of transportation and local authorities are authorized to determine those portions of any two-lane highways under their respective jurisdictions on which drivers of slow-moving vehicles may safely drive onto improved shoulders for the purpose of allowing overtaking vehicles to pass and may by appropriate signs indicate the beginning and end of such zones.

(2) Where signs are in place to define a driving-on-shoulder zone as set forth in subsection (1) of this section, the driver of a slow-moving vehicle may drive onto and along the shoulder within the zone but only for the purpose of allowing overtaking vehicles to pass and then shall return to the roadway.

(3) Signs erected to define a driving-on-shoulder zone take precedence over pavement markings for the purpose of allowing the movements described in subsection (2) of this section.


So the RCW says that only slow moving vehicles may drive on the improved shoulder, and only in those places where it has been specifically authorized. Seems pretty clear to me....
