    Just when they cause a crash do peds get a cite.

    Impeding the flow of traffic, yes at 15 under there is rarely a good reason to go so slow.

    When we come out of the Academy everyone does a few weeks at one of the statoins in the CBD. One of the first things they get you to do is go out and give some tickets for jaywalking. It's supposed to help those of us that haven't had jobs involving public contact before intitate contact with people. Improve people skills, that sort of thing. You do it for 2 days, if I recall correctly. The first day you give everyone you speak to a warning. The second day, they give you a ticket book and send you out. I missed the second day because I was snaffled up to do some work in plain clothes to catch drug dealers.

    The only times I've given a jaywalking ticket since then is when they caused a crash.

    For going under the speed limit, if it was bad enough I would do them for Drive At A Speed Dangerous. Hasn't happened yet, but always on the look out for it.
    .

    If you rob a gas station, you're only going to get about $100, but I get to see a K9 dog use your arm as a chew toy. For all I care you can keep the $100.

    We actually have a specific law for it here...but I don't have any 65+ mph zones in my city. :( I HATE slow people in the left lane!

    (1) A person shall not drive a motor vehicle in the passing lane of a highway if the speed limit is sixty-five miles per hour or more unless such person is passing other motor vehicles that are in a nonpassing lane or turning left, or unless the volume of traffic does not permit the motor vehicle to safely merge into a nonpassing lane.

    (2) For the purposes of this section:

    (a) "Nonpassing lane" means any lane that is to the right of the passing lane if there are two or more adjacent lanes of traffic moving in the same direction in one roadway.

    (b) "Passing lane" means the farthest to the left lane if there are two or more adjacent lanes of traffic moving in the same direction in one roadway; except that, if such left lane is restricted to high occupancy vehicle use or is designed for left turns only, the passing lane shall be the lane immediately to the right of such high occupancy lane or left-turn lane.

    (3) A person who violates this section commits a class A traffic infraction.

    1.) Nope, never
    2.) Only to show established PC for stop in conjunction with a DUI arrest. Since impeding traffic is a indicator of DUI.
