That's very careless on your part. In my area, I'm aware of unmarked, official vehicles that need to circumvent traffic to report to accident scenes.
There are always going to be exceptions to the law, that's why we have judges.
those unmarked official cars have police lights mounted still in the dash
and youre right, we have judges to interpret the law....it is not the police's job. their job is to enforce it and if im not mistaken, the police acted like judges in this case and that's simply not their place or role
But again, there's no reason to believe this car was driving recklessly or putting other's safety at risk. Until you can prove it, your argument isn't valid.
driving in a breakdown lane is reckless and putting others lives at risk if they need to use that lane
i dont have to prove it as its common sense.
do i need to prove that speeding is reckless? no. do i need to prove that running red lights is reckless? no. do i need to prove that tailgating is reckless? no. so why should i have to prove that using a breakdown lane illegally is reckless. the law is there for a reason
edit: i see you added this tidbit after i posted lol
In my area, I'm aware of unmarked, official vehicles that need to circumvent traffic to report to accident scenes. No lights, no siren, no markings; just a plain white van weaving in and out of traffic, driving in emergency lanes, and along the side of the road in the dirt... legally.
thats simply not true. if it is, provide a link lol.
