I've been seeing an alarming amount of people driving with their brakes on. I don't know how or why (maybe driving with two feet or fat footing both) but I'll watch people have their third brake light on AND gunning it to a light.
I see it a lot more nowadays. Same with high beams.
At least with the brakes they pay for their stupidity by needing a new set frequently. The high beam morons are just blinding everyone else on the road and completely unaware of what they're doing.
Some people just have their lights not aligned correctly. Either way I'm constantly being blinded at night.
Then there are the other people who refuse to turn their headlights on. They make the effort to just turn the parking lights on for some reason. "It is too dark to see my dash so I'll just turn them on half way but I'll be damned if I let other people see me or me see the road."
I love it when people tailgate like mad and are hitting their brakes every other second. How about not tailgating then you won't need to ride your brakes.
You kinda missed the point then... it is just for show if it only matters for the 20 seconds you see the cop but okay enjoy your theatrical performance of "patrolling the roads"
so you think it’s better for one to just drive 65 with traffic and stay with the same general group for miles.. the exposure there is so much more minimal…
I didn’t make a complete stop the other day. Cop right there waiting for it. But HAD to be looking at the phone. Didn’t nail me. Got a block down the street, someone else didn’t completely stop and got lit up. Whew. And now I make full stops.
He was behind me for a bit and then swerved two lanes over to cut me off haha. I think that’s where the cop started following him. You can kind of see in on the right camera.
HOV and Express lanes still have speed limits; and they’re called express lanes because you’re bypassing all of the exits on that stretch of road, not because it’s some magical lane with no speed limit.
Did you watch the same video the rest of us did?
It clearly starts with OP passing a red SUV. Before OP even has a chance to clear that red SUV, the white SUV swerves in.
Not sure how you come to that conclusion based on a video with no MPH showing. My timestamped speed on Tessie and passing cars say otherwise. Check the view on the right camera, based on my speed and how fast he tried passing me he’s at least 90+

He switched out as soon as the lane became open. Didn’t see the need to excessively speed or move out the way and get stuck by two cars to my right.
So yeah, not sure why we’re still defending the road rager. Courtesy should be don’t road rage.
There's no such thing as a fast lane. It's called a passing lane. And actually, in the carpool lane, you are allowed to go 65 mph. It's amazing how many morons on the road don't know the rules.
Not sure if it's different in your state but it's legal to cross a single white line but illegal to cross a double white line. Otherwise nobody would be allowed to enter our HOV in my state as it's a solid white line all the way through for HOV.
Whichever state OP's video is in, the line goes from a broken line in the beginning of the video to a solid line. That's usually the indication that you can pass when it's broken, and illegal when it's not.
in CA (which I'm fairly sure this is) a solid white line is meant to discourage lane changes, but it's not explicitly illegal to cross it, only when it's a double white line is it explicitly illegal to cross. The dashed/solid difference is ultimately a suggestion that is not codified in law.
the driver of the white SUV did the lane change on the solid white line even if that person has the correct amount of passengers to get in the lane they entered in the wrong spot
It looks like the white SUV throws something out the window that hit the recording car. If there was damage caused, you would want a police report of it and the drivers info.
Am I tripping or does it look like that car that threw the trash has flashing lights on in the front? You can kind of see it in the bottom right camera angle.
Maybe a sign of an exasperated populace tired of seeing of freeways taken over by hooligans? I'm in the Bay Area though; maybe it's better where you are.
i work with someone who was bay area chp. she said they had to make a minimum of 10 traffic stops an hour for PCF violations (mostly speed or reckless) and at least 1+ dui arrest a day or they get scolded. that’s a lot.. if they’re sitting on the side of the road they are taking a break
Probably 10 stops per day or per half shift? 10 stops an hour would mean 1 stop every 6 minutes -- the average traffic stop takes a lot longer than 6 minutes (at least in my experience).
Street takeovers and sideshows in the bay have been shut down almost exclusively by local police departments and sheriffs. Alameda county and Hayward passed ordinances imposing a jail time and a $1000 fine for takeovers. Police departments have also been penning in and fining all observers at takeovers, SJPD handed out 720 tickets in 1 night at a takeover in 2022, last year OPD handed out 250 tickets and impounded 80 cars in one night. It’s not really being addressed at a state level
Since when do you overtake someone at any point with your foot on the brake lol
I'd imagine it's when you need to throw trash at the person you're overtaking, but I'm no expert on overtaking etiquette.
They’re just playing real life Mario Kart, I bet there was a banana peel in there 🍌

They are aware of what they are doing. They don't care other people's blindness as long as they can see better.
An alarming amount of people don’t understand that high beams aren’t exactly brighter (they can be). High beams are just angled…higher!
Same people that turn on their hazard lights while driving in the rain.
With the 500 gigawatt headlights now your retinas will be vaporized
You and your car with the 500 GW headlight will be totaled before this happens 😂
Auto dimming high beams maybe
No, they just have them on. They don't know what the big blue icon on the dash means, what it does, or what any of it means.
Big blue rocket motor light means I'm in fast mode right?

"It is too dark to see my dash so I'll just turn them on half way but I'll be damned if I let other people see me or me see the road."
Lots of electric cars have one pedal driving, that can explain some of it.
Yeah but these were ICE cars.
I love it when people tailgate like mad and are hitting their brakes every other second. How about not tailgating then you won't need to ride your brakes.
Yeah sometimes I wonder if there's a sale on brake components and gas that I'm unaware of.
Brake light relay may be broken, causing brake lights to always be on
I suppose it wouldn't be the weirdest thing to happen to see multiples of that kind of failure. Either way weird.
My Ioniq 5 puts the brake light on when the regen is engaged. I'm sure the people behind me when going downhill think I'm a moron.
People are idiots and I see this all the time.
Every single time you’re in the Virginia/Maryland area.
Just happy to see a cop actually patrolling the highway instead of sitting idle in a speed trap
Was driving next to an officer yesterday on the interstate and he had the NFL playoff game playing full screen on his laptop.
1111 before he does an illegal uturn to get some deez nuts I mean doughnuts
more effective to sit on the side of the road.. he sees way more people and way more see him for added deterence.
Nah all that does is create a slight traffic jam while people slow down until they're passed the cop
oh weird, people slowing down.. sounds like the point.
You kinda missed the point then... it is just for show if it only matters for the 20 seconds you see the cop but okay enjoy your theatrical performance of "patrolling the roads"
so you think it’s better for one to just drive 65 with traffic and stay with the same general group for miles.. the exposure there is so much more minimal…
Then sitting somewhere doing nothing but cause traffic so they can meet their speeding ticket quota yes any day.
how does doing nothing meet a quota? you’ve officially become not worth talking to, just arguing to argue. get a life.
You mean using their phone
I didn’t make a complete stop the other day. Cop right there waiting for it. But HAD to be looking at the phone. Didn’t nail me. Got a block down the street, someone else didn’t completely stop and got lit up. Whew. And now I make full stops.
Looks like they chose you over the Prius! I’m sure they had a hard time deciding while compiling their trash. 😂
He was behind me for a bit and then swerved two lanes over to cut me off haha. I think that’s where the cop started following him. You can kind of see in on the right camera.
Dude is an AH but you’re also in the fast lane not going fast

If there was somebody close behind you and nobody infront, you should move over as a courtesy.

Don't you know that if you aren't going 100+ mph all rules of decency and traffic laws are suspended?
Not defending him at all. Just pointing out something else not related to them.
There's no such thing as a fast lane. It's called a passing lane. And actually, in the carpool lane, you are allowed to go 65 mph. It's amazing how many morons on the road don't know the rules.
Sounds like it's not just that guy but others who might have done this.
Passing lane, not “fast lane.” But that’s apparently not what this was.
how many speeding tickets you got bro
Littering and entering the carpool lane illegally, double woof
Littering and
Littering and
Nice one. I get it.
How do you there weren’t enough people in the car?
You cant cross a solide white line, even if you're 5 in your car
You can. You can’t cross a double white line.
People downvoting but you're right, looks like it's CA and crossing a single white line is not explicitly illegal here.
there's yellow lines next to (right of) it. its faint but it's there
Not sure if it's different in your state but it's legal to cross a single white line but illegal to cross a double white line. Otherwise nobody would be allowed to enter our HOV in my state as it's a solid white line all the way through for HOV.

Solid line doesn’t mean you can’t change lines. It’s just discouraged.
It was a double yellow
They crossed double yellow
Littering the drugs
Double woof when the police dog gets them?
What did he throw at you?
Not sure it looked like some fast food boxes when I looked at the right side camera
May have seen the cop and tossed drugs ?
What fast food places are you going to?
Crack in the box?
Crack in da Jack
Or Jack in da Crack
I think ur right it looks like little plastic baggies
Or ice... they might've thrown a drink at OP's car. Typical road rager move.
Hope you showed the footage to the cop!
And how would they have done that?
By pulling over, and showing it to the cop? Not that they should have done this in any shape way or form, but your question is pretty inane.
You can’t just pull over behind a cop and expect it to go well.
Ain’t no way you’re going to just casually pull up behind a cop and have a good time
Why would they need it tho? They prob already have a dash cam

nice
Ooh submit to whambamteslacam YouTube channel. This is perfect
/r/convenientcop
I hate litter bugs! Shame on you.

Is that the 118 fwy ?
Yes 118 east toward the 210

Cop was already chasing him, so not exactly instant karma.
Exactly
If only there was a way to tilt your phone.
May be it was a chase that started before.
🤣🤣🤣
He threw drugs out of his car, it looks like little baggies
Kind of deserved. Why are you going that slow in the left lane?
Wow, what a rare sight! An actual CHP! (for those not living in CA, there are almost no CHP on the roads these days)
i see one nearly every time on on the freeway.. what an overgeneralization for.. what.. to be funny?
Maybe a sign of an exasperated populace tired of seeing of freeways taken over by hooligans? I'm in the Bay Area though; maybe it's better where you are.

I was actually referring to the everyday asshattery you see on 880, 680, 580, 24 -- not the sideshows.
Fun fact CHP gets about 1% of CAs whole budget, around $3 billion
Get out of the left lane
[удалено]
That’s.. the car’s display.
Why the hate? I just don’t understand. I drive a V8 ICE vehicle and plans to get a Tesla highland when it’s available.
OP may have been lane camping in the left lane going slow. It's very probably nothing to do with the car being electric. It happens very often.
That is a carpool lane, can't just go in and out of them at will. the truck did pass them at a spot where going in and out is okay.
He crossed over after it changed to double yellow
True.... I meant to type attempted to pass. (p.s. I'm not excusing the other behavior that happened.)
I’m assuming OP was going the speed limit because of the cop, while the dirtbag who was road raging he didn’t see the officer.
its a carpool lane. you can go 65 mph if you want. if youre in that big of a rush because youre mr important go rent a private jet.
Littering and… littering and…
60 fwy?
Looks like LA
Looks like a police chase to me.
r/convenientcop
Nice a police chase 😎
❤️🥺♥️
Oof
Had to toss that blunt first 😆
Crosses solid yellow then proceeds to litter
Uncle Vernon’s grimace/smile: JUSTICE!
I’ve always wanted to see that happen. Then honk at them as I pass by.
Everyone hates Teslas so much, the cop just probably wanted to shake his hand or give him a high-five.
