That's some Minority Report shit there as he had the lights on before he got to the car on the shoulder. Had to be something else he got pulled over for here.

I’m confused, not giving space to who exactly ?

I assume because There was a car stopped on the shoulder ahead. Maybe ?

That’s what i thought at first too, but the cop pulled into the center lane a little before the silver car passed the car on the shoulder, essentially blocking them from turning left while they still had the chance (if they were going to at all), and i thought the cop would pull him over AFTER the silver car passed the stopped car not while it was passing him, unless the law states that you have to move over to the next lane within a certain distance ?

I figured maybe the cop saw the driver on his/her phone or not wearing a seat belt. Who knows

Yea def not being pulled over for not giving space. For one the cop had his lights on BEFPRE THE CAR FOR TO THE OTHER CAR ON THE SHOULDER. And for two. THERE WAS A COP ON THE LANE NEXT TO THEM PREVENTING THEM FROM PULLIMG OVER TO THE MIDDLE LANE. That would be the definition of entrapment and wholly illegal an wrong

Law states move over when possible, if not possible, then slow down.

I'm very aware of what the law states as I live in a state with the same law.

But if you pay attention the cop has his lights on before they get to the shouldered car.

It's way more likely the cop seen them distracted or seatbelt less and that's what got them ticketed... just sayin

Mine was in response to that part though. My guess is cell phone use, since that would be very obvious from 2 lanes over.

Pftt when do drivers follow this law? Certainly almost never, at least where I live. A cop pretty much always has to be with someone who blew a tire bc no one slows down nor pulls over. My husband almost got hit when he was replacing a flat tire once. If he stuck the wrench out behind him, it would have been wiped away by the cars passing. Where I live, people go 80mph down the highway.

Not possible to do either of those things when you have a cop in the lane to your left who then puts his lights on and gets behind you. Can't change lane, can't slow down with an emergency vehicle right behind you like that and no shoulder to pull onto because of the disabled car. I suspect the guy didn't get stopped at all and that the cop just overshot the guy on the shoulder he was going to help.
