On two lane roads (like the NYS Thruway), you are supposed to stay to the right, except to pass. When I was an inexperienced driver back in the 70’s, on the NYS thruway, I was staying in the left lane because I didn’t know any better. I was pulled over and warned about it.

This dickhead in WNY was behaving like a nasty MAGA. He shouldn’t be a cop if he can’t contain his emotions better.
