this goes for every state.

I've had cops tell me they won't pull anyone over unless they are going more than 15 over the speed limit. I assume everyone is different.

I had a radar detector in high school and the two times I got pulled over with it, I just ripped it off the windshield quickly and threw it in my center console.
Yeah, left lane should always be moving. I'm usually going ~80 in the 65 in I-95 in the left lane. I wish cops would pull over idiots slowing down the left lane/passing lane. That said, on normal roads, I almost always go 5 over the limit. Traffic sucks down here, so it's not often I can even do that!

just fyi if you visit MA our highways run 65 mph typically, so that puts you in the middle lane. please remember this, left lane = 80 or gtfo. (i dont drive in the left lane)
Also remember this, they should and will pull you over for travelling extended distances in the left lane now. I see signs all over the MA highways that they are cracking down on this. Occasionally I'll be passing someone and driving in that lane and some fuckwit will pull up behind me and clearly slam on his brakes, only to start flashing his high beams and throwing his hands in there. It's moments like those that I cherish the scenery and drive at a cool 65 MPH. If the guy to my right is going faster/slower, I make sure that we match speeds for a little bit.

If he had time to get to you while you were still passing, either A) you were passing too slow or B) you should have waited till he passed, then went into that lane.

I'm all for the drop a gear and slow down when some idiot is tailgating you and there is traffic in front of you, but in the passing lane there really shouldn't be anyone on your ass unless you're the one driving bad.

The fuckwit is you. The passing lane is for passing. Assholes cruising in the left lane without passing and taking on their own to regulate traffic speed deserve to crash and die in an inferno. You're probably one of those passing on cruise control and taking forever to get out of the way because you are going 3mph faster than the guy to the right.

Some cops are more prone to write a ticket up if they see one as opposed to letting you off with a warning to slow down.
Yep, Had a Texas State Trooper write me a ticket just because I had a radar detector and I haven't used one since.

Thanks for using your jump to conclusions mat bro. I clearly should've sped up to 90 to pass. Might as well have said 120mph to be safe.

Well, you should speed up to 90 if that's what it takes to pass a car in a timely manner. You should never spend more than about 15-20 seconds in the left-hand lane. If you aren't willing to go fast enough to pass someone quickly, then you don't really need to pass them, they're going fast enough for you to follow them comfortably.

The lone exception to spending more time in the left-hand lane is if you have multiple cars to pass. In that case, you should still be passing 1 new vehicle every 15-20 seconds.

Phones have watches in them now, you know?

Seriously, I'd pawn that and buy something with more value for money than a lumb of mechanical metal around your wrist.

The fact that you even mention walking into a pawn shop makes me think that his watch is probably worth half of what you make in a year.

Awesome piece, Splorge.

This is an absolutely terrible argument against owning a watch.

Yeah, if you're wearing 10+ grand on your wrist, it's probably not so you know what time it is.

I'd rather spend the money on hookers and blow, though.

i use my watch every day at work. glancing at your cell phone for the time is very unprofessional, and traditionally meeting rooms do not have clocks on the walls.

Yeah, that's kind of retarded. Professionals are staring at their phones all day long in 2013, but it ain't cool to check the time on one?
