It’s no secret that !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , as I’m sure the majority of us do. Most states have laws regarding this problem, but they are rarely enforced. Last night was one of those times when it was enforced for my (and now your) amusement.
Sorry for the far-away video, I wasn’t prepared to try and speed to catch up to a cop.

Who pulls into the median for a traffic stop?

Seriously - when a cop turns its lights on you’re supposed to move right, regardless of whether you think he’s pulling you over or not.

Nice to see this law being enforced, for once.

Thanks for reminding me not to speed through Iowa on my travels this weekend. God, I hate that state. (Although I do appreciate the nice trooper pulling this person over for parking in the left lane)

The same sort of person who hogs the left lane in front of a cop car.

Hey now, Iowa isn’t so bad. Or at least Des Moines isn’t.

I find it also depends on the officer too. The police in the town next to where I work love to pull people over into the median. The median is super wide so I guess they figure they can hop out of their cars in relative safety compared to the right shoulder.

Gotta love the cop not keeping right after he passes you, too.

True. Granted he was absolutely flying, but the law is about passing not speed.

I spent 22 years there, 20 in DSM. I couldn’t wait to leave.

You’re giving me a complex by telling everyone to ignore me. Twice!

Did you get the TV figured out? I bet it was the cable box.

He was going after the Nimrod up ahead. Plus he gets shot at, Unless you want to do his job. Then you can pull over into the right hand lane all the time .

I will say that it has seemed to change quite a bit since I was growing up there. If you see me this weekend out in the Johnston/WDM area, honk!

Des Moines has speed cameras. Well, three years ago they did. Haven’t been back since.

Generally, Iowa drivers actually stay to the right unless overtaking. I wonder if that was an Illinois or Minnesota car that got snagged.
Good taste in music BTW!

There’s a certain poetic justice to Thunderstruck playing on the radio when this went down.

Yup. Got busted by one in March.
