the laws are not written to be followed, they are written to be broken for revenue
Tell that to the bus drivers flying down 235 on any given day......

Single lane each direction. I remember my school bus got pulled over one morning because there was a loooong line of cars behind it. The officer said she was blocking traffic.

Quick question for everyone.

If you are 2+ cars back in a line (behind a slow mover, for example), can you legally pass all of the cars ahead of you if you come up to a passing area (dashed line), or can only the 2nd car in line pass the first car?

school bus is not restricted to 40 on that road like the dump truck, on that type of road the bus is supposed to go the limit as long as it does not exceed that max in service bus speed.

Im sure there is an officer on here reading this that is more than willing to clarify what Im getting wrong on this

Your the idiot here. I would've just pulled to the shoulder once I got off the bridge and let her pass. It's not worth getting pissed off about or getting in an accident over if somebody's that hard up about getting around you. You never know what some of these crazy drivers are going to do.
Unless they flash their headlights or have their 4 ways on, they don't want to get by you, they just want to be an ass.

It's legal to pass all of them at once, as long as one or them isn't a cop.

Still legal as long as you don't exceed the posted speed limit

saw a bus tailgating this compact car; luckly, there were no children on it and I believe the person driving the car just said "screw you" and wouldn't budge from the left lane
