Beerball Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 (Attention Rob's House...the thread title is rhetorical & no answer is expected) Driving to work today, 4 lane divided highway...funeral procession in the right lane. One car in the left lane (not part of the procession) kept pace with the last funeral car and would not let anyone pass. I get it if you're on a two lane road, you follow, but on a 4 lane is it ok to respectfully pass the procession? I must admit that I became somewhat heated. (This went on for 7-8 miles)
DC Tom Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 No. The idiot driving in the left lane is, though. I hate amateur traffic cops.

mead107 Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 If you go to hell you will have lots of company
The Poojer Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Yes you are going to hell, but not because of this. If you are on a 2 lane road, then you are stuck following the procession, sucks but it's the way things are done. There is absolutely no reason to impede traffic if there are more than 2 lanes. Side not, if I am passing or following a funeral procession, i turn down my radio and if i am wearing one, take off my hat, course that is all while I am passing them in the passing lane
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 I passed one on the 290 last weekend. But nobody felt it was their duty to hold everyone else up. The cops leading the procession didn't care. I turned my lights on, if that helps.
Chef Jim Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Wow you guys are way too respectful. I usually raise my beer I as I drive by.
Beerball Posted August 14, 2015 Author Posted August 14, 2015 Wow you guys are way too respectful. I usually raise my beer I as I drive by. After several miles I was all NDBUFFCUSEBILLS. I could have gotten around the !@#$er in the red car, but, son of a B word sped up to keep me in my place. Finally got around him when the procession went through a red light & we had to stop. Good thing too because a couple miles further on was my exit (& theirs). I would have been stuck for another dozen miles.

You never know what you're going to come up against.

shrader Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 You should have found a way to high speed shiv the mofo... ok, maybe slow speed shiv the mofo. There would have been a hearse right there to collect his body.
BUFFALOKIE Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) Drive by honk and wave with a big **** eating grin on your face. I was, by chance, behind the Sam Kinison procession. We rolled up next to the hurse and my buddy hung out the window and gave the loudest guttural scream he could muster. OH OHHHH&HHH! Looking back, that was probably in poor taste. Sam would've appreciated it though, i think. Edited August 14, 2015 by SAMMY HANDWICH
