    Try that in city traffic. This is reality - video made on Jan 15, 2023 in Carmel IN. Ahead I confess that I went over the speed limit at times.

    https://drive.google.com/file/d/19K_M0HsroJltI7j6eydDARijzaXgvvyK/view?usp=share_link

    Note all the traffic that stays in the left lane. Changing lanes frequently in city traffic is itself a hazard.

    Read my HUD. Feel free to point out where I was going under the limit except in transitioning and transiting rouundabouts. If you are at or over the established maximum you are entitled to the left lane. Anyone passing you on the right is speeding and
    breaking the law.

    On an interstate highway, that's true, perhaps.

    So a liar who cannot even follow the law when making a demonstration
    video should be regarded as a good source on what the law actually is,
    Lying Little Shit?

    And the law cited absolutely provides an exception for when traffic is
    too heavy:

    'when traffic conditions or congestion make it necessary to operate a
    vehicle in the left most lane;'

    But according to your own earlier posts on the subject, those conditions
    did not apply when your wife was driving in the left lane slower than
    other traffic.

    :-)

    We were in traffic, keeping up, and in the roundabout when the accident happened.

    In the video the guy in the Mustang was in the right lane, going way over the limit, and shot the gap.

    There was no one pushing me to get by. Traffic was heavy for Carmel.

    Another drive today. Pay attention to the oncoming traffic.

    This was in 4k 60 fps. Much better quality. But oh my, getting it off the phone took over an hour.

    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1leUHgwL2ODWkLpHmoRnDlLa3n4ZDxncp/view?usp=share_link

    Your local Vancouver drivers drive the same as I do. Some street view screenshots:

    Interpret the law any way you want, it's not how people drive in urban traffic.

    On the Interstates I do stay to the right except to pass. Virtually nobody drives the 65-70 mph limit here, and Canada is the same, just not as extreme. The limit on 465 might as well be 70. Drive the 55 limit and you might pass an old truck but no
    passenger vehicles.

    I invoke the congestion rule. As for the accident there were only two other people who matter, the police and the other party's insurance adjuster. Both agreed that my wife was not at fault.

    Now, please explain why drivers in your area behave just like drivers here regarding this behavior.

    Sec. 6. (a) A person who drives a vehicle may overtake and pass upon the right of another vehicle only under the following conditions:
    (1) When the vehicle overtaken is making or about to make a left turn.

    (2) Upon a roadway with unobstructed pavement of sufficient width for two (2) or more lanes of vehicles moving lawfully in the direction being traveled by the overtaking vehicle.

    The other driver in our accident violated item (2). She was trying to make an illegal left turn by choosing the wrong lane.

    I never claimed that the other driver wasn't primarily at fault.

    ...which it wasn't.

    And I countered with the fact that if you wanted to discuss infractions
    that contributed to the collision, your wife being in the wrong lane was
    one of them.

    Nope. What other shitty drivers do doesn't change that your wife's
    driving was shitty.

    Is it in any way covered by the paragraphs you posted? Nope.

    Your wife SHOULD have been in the right lane as there was a car
    attempting to overtake her.

    When the road switched from 1 lane each way to 2 lanes, she should have
    moved right. That part isn't law, it's just good driving etiquette, and
    I understand that while living her life with a shit like you, she might
    have not learned much about it.

    That's called a PREAMBLE, and doesn't change the force and effect of the
    rest of the law.

    Note that in the video I linked we all cruising at or a bit above the
    posted limit that you can even see in the HUD.
    But that wasn't the incident where your wife had an accident, was it?

    :-)

    We were in traffic, keeping up, and in the roundabout when the accident happened.

    But the situation that LED to the accident was BEFORE the roundabout.


    In the video the guy in the Mustang was in the right lane, going way over the limit, and shot the gap.
    You don't have video of the incident under discussion, so please explain
    why I should care about your deflections and obfuscations.


    There was no one pushing me to get by. Traffic was heavy for Carmel.

    So you say now.


    Another drive today. Pay attention to the oncoming traffic.

    Nope. Not interested in today.

    ...which it wasn't.

    And I countered with the fact that if you wanted to discuss infractions
    that contributed to the collision, your wife being in the wrong lane was
    one of them.

    Now, please explain why drivers in your area behave just like drivers here regarding this behavior.
    Nope. What other shitty drivers do doesn't change that your wife's
    driving was shitty.

    LOL, my wife was doing nothing wrong. She was in a lane to go the direction of intended travel, the other driver was not, and caused the wreck. Thia is all about you making unfounded assumptions to denigrate.

    When you actually have some experience driving in roundabouts maybe you will have the right to criticize. Maybe when you have a few hundred aircraft touch and go ops you can criticize a pilot's logbook entries.

    In the meantime Vancouver has almost no roundabouts and you have no meaningful flying experience.

    Try making this video I just published: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ranVejy5Yz89ChnavXIDo_V1VUxXSKOL/view?usp=share_link

    Here are the BC roundabout guidelines: https://www.tranbc.ca/2020/07/02/how-to-safely-use-roundabouts-in-bc/#:~:text=There%20are%20more%20than%2035%20roundabouts%20on%20provincially,the%20same%20basic%20rules%20apply%20for%20all%20roundabouts.


    Drivers

    There are two golden rules for entering an intersection controlled by a roundabout:

    Before entering, look left and yield to all traffic in the roundabout.
    When entering the intersection controlled by a roundabout, continue moving counter-clockwise and to the right of the rotary traffic island before exiting.

    Multi-lane roundabouts at intersections have directional signs and pavement markings to help guide drivers. The signs offer a general depiction of the roundabout, complete with destination symbols (i.e. airport) and road names; they also show which lanes
    should be used for the various destinations. As you approach the intersection controlled by a roundabout, look at the signs to determine which lane you should be in. Get into the appropriate lane for your destination before entering the roundabout.

    Now that you have chosen your lane, identified your destination’s exit, and yielded to pedestrians using the crosswalk, then come the golden rules stated above. This is the crux of any roundabout – get this right, and you’re in pretty good shape.

    Because it was an independent section of the same law.

    It had no effect at all on section (b).

    And Alan, in Indiana passing on the right is permitted: https://www.lawserver.com/law/state/indiana/in-code/indiana_code_9-21-8-6

    Indiana Code 9-21-8-6. Overtaking and passing on the right;
    conditions Current as of: 2022 | Check for updates | Other versions
    Sec. 6. (a) A person who drives a vehicle may overtake and pass upon
    the right of another vehicle only under the following conditions: (1)
    When the vehicle overtaken is making or about to make a left turn.

    (2) Upon a roadway with unobstructed pavement of sufficient width for
    two (2) or more lanes of vehicles moving lawfully in the direction
    being traveled by the overtaking vehicle.

    (b) A person who drives a vehicle may overtake and pass another
    vehicle upon the right only under conditions that permit overtaking
    upon the right in safety. Overtaking upon the right may not be made
    by driving off the roadway.

    The other driver in our accident violated item (2). She was trying to
    make an illegal left turn by choosing the wrong lane.
    Wow.

    Wrong again.

    He she make an illegal turn? Yup!

    Is it in any way covered by the paragraphs you posted? Nope.

    Your wife SHOULD have been in the right lane as there was a car
    attempting to overtake her.

    When the road switched from 1 lane each way to 2 lanes, she should have
    moved right. That part isn't law, it's just good driving etiquette, and
    I understand that while living her life with a shit like you, she might
    have not learned much about it.

    As I mentioned there was traffic on the right. The car that hit us was in the wrong lane. Even if that car had been beside us we would have expected it to turn right with us.

    You still have not cited the entire change that was made in 2015.
    That's found here, among other changes:

    https://iga.in.gov/legislative/2015/bills/house/1305#document-dcb1fa00



    Here is the text:

    SECTION 67. IC 9-21-5-7 IS AMENDED TO READ AS FOLLOWS [EFFECTIVE
    JULY 1, 2015]: Sec. 7. (a) A person may not drive a motor vehicle
    at a slow speed that impedes or blocks the normal and reasonable
    movement of traffic, except when reduced speed is necessary for
    safe operation or in compliance with the law. A person who is
    driving: (1) on a roadway that has not more than one (1) lane of
    traffic in each direction; and (2) at a slow speed so that three
    (3) or more other vehicles are blocked and cannot pass on the
    left around the vehicle; shall give right-of-way to the other
    vehicles by pulling off to the right of the right lane at the
    earliest reasonable opportunity and allowing the blocked vehicles
    to pass. (b) A person who fails to give right-of-way as required
    by subsection (a) commits a Class C infraction. SECTION 68. IC
    9-21-5-8.5, AS AMENDED BY P.L.221-2014, SECTION 38, IS AMENDED TO
    READ AS FOLLOWS [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2015]: Sec. 8.5. (a) A person
    may not operate a low speed vehicle on a highway that has a speed
    limit in excess of thirty-five (35) miles per hour. (b) A person
    who operates a low speed vehicle on a highway that has a speed
    limit in excess of thirty-five (35) miles per hour commits a
    Class C infraction. SECTION 69. IC 9-21-5-9 IS AMENDED TO READ
    AS FOLLOWS [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2015]: Sec. 9. (a) A vehicle that
    travels at a speed less than the established maximum shall travel
    in the right lanes to provide for better flow of traffic on the
    interstate highways. (b) This subsection applies to the operation
    of a vehicle: (1) on a roadway that has two (2) or more lanes of
    traffic in each direction; and HEA 1305 — CC 1 29 (2) in the left
    most lane, other than a lane designated for high occupancy
    vehicles. Except as provided in subsection (c), a person who
    knows, or should reasonably know, that another vehicle is
    overtaking from the rear the vehicle that the person is operating
    may not continue to operate the vehicle in the left most lane.
    (c) Subsection (b) does not apply: (1) when traffic conditions or
    congestion make it necessary to operate a vehicle in the left
    most lane; (2) when inclement weather, obstructions, or hazards
    make it necessary to operate a vehicle in the left most lane; (3)
    when compliance with a law, a regulation, an ordinance, or a
    traffic control device makes it necessary to operate a vehicle in
    the left most lane; (4) when exiting a roadway or turning to the
    left; (5) when paying a toll or user fee at a toll collection
    facility; (6) to an authorized emergency vehicle operated in the
    course of duty; or (7) to vehicles operated or used in the course
    of highway maintenance or construction. (d) A person who violates
    this section commits a Class C infraction.

    I invoke the congestion rule. As for the accident there were only
    two other people who matter, the police and the other party's
    insurance adjuster. Both agreed that my wife was not at fault.
    I never claimed that the other driver wasn't primarily at fault.

    But you brought up this whole incident as an example of how
    speeding led to accidents...

    ...which it wasn't.

    And I countered with the fact that if you wanted to discuss

    You keep only referring to where your wife was IN the roundabout.

    The issue was the lane she should have been in BEFORE the roundabout.


    When you actually have some experience driving in roundabouts maybe
    you will have the right to criticize. Maybe when you have a few
    hundred aircraft touch and go ops you can criticize a pilot's logbook entries.

    I have lots and lots of experience in roundabouts, Lying Little Shit.


    In the meantime Vancouver has almost no roundabouts and you have no meaningful flying experience.

    And therefore you know that I don't regularly take routes that involve
    some of those "almost none"?

    And yet another attempt at deflection!


    Try making this video I just published: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ranVejy5Yz89ChnavXIDo_V1VUxXSKOL/view?usp=share_link

    Why? Would it prove anything?

    I'm completely familiar with roundabouts, Lying Little Shit.

    Here's the roundabout on the way out to hockey at UBC:

    <https://www.google.com/maps/@49.2557896,-123.236108,212m/data=!3m1!1e3>

    I don't travel through it every time I play hockey by any means, but
    here is the double roundabout I drive through EVERY time I go out to
    Abbotsford to work on my car:

    <https://www.google.com/maps/@49.034231,-122.2929521,412m/data=!3m1!1e3>

    '(b) This subsection applies to the operation of a vehicle:

    (1) on a roadway that has two (2) or more lanes of
    traffic in each direction; and

    (2) in the left most lane, other than a lane designated
    for high occupancy vehicles.

    Except as provided in subsection (c), a person who
    knows, or should reasonably know, that another vehicle
    is overtaking from the rear the vehicle that the person
    is operating may not continue to operate the vehicle in
    the left most lane.'

    The end.

    Period.

    Full stop.
    ROTFLMAO!

    Me too. He did not include this from the intro: "A vehicle
    that travels at a speed less than the established maximum
    shall travel in the right lanes to provide for better flow
    of traffic on the interstate highways."

    How convenient for him to leave that out! LOL!!
    Because it was an independent section of the same law.

    It had no effect at all on section (b).

    And Alan, in Indiana passing on the right is permitted:

    Indiana Code 9-21-8-6. Overtaking and passing on the right;
    conditions Current as of: 2022 | Check for updates | Other
    versions Sec. 6. (a) A person who drives a vehicle may overtake
    and pass upon the right of another vehicle only under the
    following conditions: (1) When the vehicle overtaken is making or
    about to make a left turn.

    (2) Upon a roadway with unobstructed pavement of sufficient width
    for two (2) or more lanes of vehicles moving lawfully in the
    direction being traveled by the overtaking vehicle.

    (b) A person who drives a vehicle may overtake and pass another
    vehicle upon the right only under conditions that permit
    overtaking upon the right in safety. Overtaking upon the right
    may not be made by driving off the roadway.

    The other driver in our accident violated item (2). She was
    trying to make an illegal left turn by choosing the wrong lane.
    Wow.

    Wrong again.

    He she make an illegal turn? Yup!

    Is it in any way covered by the paragraphs you posted? Nope.

    Your wife SHOULD have been in the right lane as there was a car
    attempting to overtake her.

    When the road switched from 1 lane each way to 2 lanes, she should
    have moved right. That part isn't law, it's just good driving
    etiquette, and I understand that while living her life with a shit
    like you, she might have not learned much about it.

    As I mentioned there was traffic on the right. The car that hit us
    was in the wrong lane. Even if that car had been beside us we would
    have expected it to turn right with us.
    And again, you try and claim that I had ever claimed the other driver
    wasn't in the wrong.

    Hence "Lying Little Shit".

    You keep claiming it was my wife's fault!

    You're a liar.

    I never once claimed that.

    What I said was that if you want to assign other factors to this
    accident by your claim that the other driver was speeding (an assertion
    of yours without evidence)...

    ...then we also need to look at the additional factor that is the FACT
    that your wife should have been in the right-hand lane if there was a
    car that wished to overtake her...

    ...which you admit there was.

    Hey rookie, Carmel only started on their circles jerk just ~25 years ago.

    NJ’s been modifying/removing circles for 40+ years because of their shortcomings, so hopefully Carmel will figure it out eventually too.
