Is no reason to slow down to 45 mph on a 65 mph zone. Jesus Fracking Christ people, a trooper is not going to pull you over for doing the speed limit. There is no reason to drop below it.
The state trooper was in the median running radar.

In Texas, it's clearly defined. SB 193 requires drivers nearing stopped emergency vehicles-with lights activated -to either slow down or change lanes.
The law states a driver must either vacate the lane closest to the stopped emergency vehicle if the road has multiple lanes traveling in the same direction or slow down 20 miles per hour below the speed limit. (If the speed limit is below 25 mph the driver must slow down to 5 mph.) Emergency vehicles include police, emergency medical service and fire vehicles. A violation is punishable by a maximum fine of $200. If the violation results in property damage, the maximum fine increases to $500. If the violation results in bodily injury, the offense is enhanced to a Class B misdemeanor. |
