...be in the right lane when there is a cop parked in the emergency lane.
It all happened like this.
I was traveling in the left lane of the Courtny-Campbell Causeway linking Clearwater with Tampa. I came behind a large truck, and started to move into the right lane. About half way into the right lane i noticed 2 cops parked in the emergency lane with their lights on, there were no other cars, just the cops. When i saw them, i moved back towards the left, and then to the right after i passed. about a mile down the road i heard a siren, and looked into my mirror to see one of the cops coming onto my back end. I pull over, and the pissed off cop gets out of his car and comes to mine.
cop: Do you know why i pulled you over?
me: was i speeding
cop: no you were doing 60 in a 60, you made an unsafe lane change and florida law reqires that you give a full lanes distence between your car and a cruiser parked in the emergency lane.
I didn't know that i did anything wrong, and recieved a $114.50 moving violation for "failior to yeild." nobody was standing outside of their cars, and i did not feel that i was putting anyone in danger.
He either had to bring ip his ticket quota before the end of the month, or he wanted to take a good look at a really nice SAAB convertable
Drive safe, watch lane changes, and keep on saabing
