Friend of mine just posted his lap around the ring with his kiddo. Car is a MB C Class CDI. Dad of the year?

For those that wonder, he's done over 100 laps at the ring and races out in CA regularly.

Absolutly you are the only one. Peole who drive slow in the fast lane should be treated exactly like that or even better ticketed. There's good reasons why it's illegal.

Greatest cop for now.

Sure the cop could be a proper distance away, then just pull over and fine the driver.
But the cop was just making it obvious what they wanted the driver to do, but as expected for any slow driver, they don't check their mirrors at all. So the cop got even closer, but still, slow drivers in the overtaking/fast lane never check their mirrors or have any sort of decency and are self indulgent. So the cop had to prove the point getting even closer and using lights and sirens.
Even then, no stopping or fine, just herded the driver into the appropriate lane.
Great to see for once!

Dunno if this has been posted yet (it probably has), but it's Chris Harris getting to drive an F1 car:

He loses it quite spectacularly on the first lap in what has to be the best demonstration of the terrifying nature of F1 cars I have ever seen.

EDIT: Whoops, there are three parts, not two.

Yeah but the cop failed to signal his lane change when he got back in the fast lane... :cop:

The guy probably only slowed down because he was afraid to speed in front of the cop. Awesome video, though.

Driving a P71 Crown Vic is infuriating because of this. You can be in the middle lane doing 60 on a 65mph road with a car full of people and someone will still slow down from 75 in the left lane to pace you in your blind spot for miles. The trade off is no one ever cuts you off and will always let you in when signaling.

I dont loving understand this mentality.

If a cop is doing 55 in the slow lane, DOES NOT loving MEAN YOU HAVE TO GO 54 IN THE FAST LANE.

There is no law that says you cant pass a cop.

Tiny fire that really doesn't even belong on youtube, though I do find it amusing that a (relatively) late model Cadillac catches on fire idling. But it takes a turn for the odd about 2 minutes in.

Well leaving your car running unattended is just stupid no matter how you look at it, though that's not why it caught on fire.

I was more referring to the poo poo that starts 2 minutes in, my brain went :psypop: watching that.
