This law has existed in Canada for as long as I can remember. Anybody who doesn't slow down or pull over would be considered an asshole on the same level as someone passing a line of traffic then trying to merge at the front of the line because of the obvious lane closure causing the long line of traffic to begin with.

I find it hard to believe that you've been driving all these years & have never pulled over or seen anybody pull over away from police or emergency vehicles with lights flashing. I've rented a car in the USA on 4 separate trips(3 in Vegas & once in Phoenix) & drove no more then 400 miles total & have pulled over & seen others pull over on at least 2 occasions in this scenario.

There's also a law here in Canada, & I'm sure in the US that if you meet an emergency vehicle with lights flashing on a 2 lane hiway you're supposed to slow down & pull over so don't get caught with that one either.

Just look at this as a $198 driving lesson.

edit: BTW you're not prohibited from driving in the right lane but you need to slow the fuck down. It doesn't say slow down "if possible".
This thread jogged my memory, and caused me to look up a ticket I got in Indiana in 2007 - couldn't remember if it was for speeding or this.

It was for the same chickenshit offense, but it was also late December on bad icy roads and I made the conscious decision NOT to go in the left lane, as it was slick and traffic was steady. I made my case to the podunk cop and vividly remember that he said nothing - just handed to me and walked away.

It was on a 10 hour drive home from school, and around the holidays so I just let it go.

What I just realized: I never paid it! I still owe the state of Indiana $163 and change. I've gotten licensed in three different states since and it has never shown up on any check.

What would Druff do here?
