Cool idea and point. But the video editing on this is atrocious! Please, whoever edited this video, never make another film again.

@tsilb !) is not always a law, just a courtesy. 2) They weren't going slower than the people next to them; they were going the same speed. 3) Traffic was moving along AT THE SPEED LIMIT, so buy law, this was not impeding traffic. 4) That's the point: obeying dumb ass laws creates public disturbances.

make another one without it going backwards every 5 seconds

Id like to see all of the drivers that were not in the right lane recieve tickets. The law is posted about every half mile "slower traffic yield right"

I believe the speed limit at 55 is a good thing for the environment and economy. Driving at 55 is the optimal speed to drive at if you want maximum fuel efficiency. Burning less gas means and increase in economy and a decrease in CO2 emmisions. People who drive fast are just in a hurry, have no patience, and are reckless. If you are driving in like that you shouldn't be driving in the first place.

I <3 you guys. :-D

@blackjackmoon1 Exactly. It really comes down to driver attitudes. Passing on the right is basically unthinkable on the autobahn.

only white people would do something like this..

@LedgemDK Our highways were designed for 75 to 80 miles per hour. This means the sight distance, horizontal and vertical curvature and super elevation was built and designed for 75 to 80+ miles per hour. The design vehicle was based on a typical 1940 - 1950's automobiles. Since today's vehicles handle and stop better than anything in 1950 you could drive 120mph with ease. However stubborn Americans do not give way to faster traffic like Europeans do.

@desertsoldier22 Tell that to the dumbass cops, 'just obey the law' do-gooders, and wannabe judges who think "if its the law, it must be obeyed and you're an evil commie 'lib' who loves to drive 90 in a 35 while drinking and smoking pot if you disagree with me or the system in any way". Idiots want so badly to think that our system is 'great' that they become completely delusional in supporting it....that's why they tear people apart who complain about the system...also to pad their egos.

@desertsoldier22 The idiots who put up the 55 mph limit should be cited for endangering motorists.
