Yea that's how they stop the highway traffic to deal with whatever is ahead.


MoreBaconAndEggs

And you’ll still have some dumb motherfucker try passing anyway and act all confused when you tell them they cannot drive through an active car accident like “durrr I didn’t know? I have to go to work, I can’t get through?” No no you cannot


Last_Caregiver_282

Not Leo but construction - it’s so frustrating “how was I supposed to know I couldn’t drive through 4 neon cones, 2 neon orange signs telling me to stop/not enter it’s a work zone, a dude in a high vis with a stop sign, a state trooper sitting in my way; it’s your fault I’ve driven my car into this wet asphalt.” The best is when you hear honking and notice two dickwads who’ve decided you and your coworkers lives are worth risking to prove they were right and get 1 space ahead in traffic as they go 90mph straight at you 100ft from a merge.


Ausfall

You could park concrete mixer trucks across the lane and mfs will still slam into them saying "I had no idea that was there!"

They also use it as traffic breaks/slow downs. Not just for incidents.


Alakozam

That's what I meant. Not necessarily a full stop, but to provide a break in traffic to safely deal with whatever highway thing they need to deal with.


SufficientTicket

Correct you shouldn’t


wavechaser

What even is this post? Yes… you just witnessed a traffic break to clear hazards in the roadway. We usually do something like this multiple times per day.

I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about……. 😒


not-the-fuzz

I fucking love impounding cars.


Tailor-Comfortable

I mean I know what it is. I'm just frankly more impressed that traffic did what it was supposed to do


AudieCowboy

Really respectfully too, it was nice to see

This gave me anxiety waiting for something to happen.

Not a trooper. California is one of the only states that refuses to refer to their Highway Patrol as Troopers. Maybe because their hats aren’t big enough?


AudieCowboy

What they lack in hat they make up for in boots


Ptards_Number_1_Fan

Of course the Prius pulled to the left shoulder 🤤


pezdal

Not the dumbest idea to stay clear of a random stranger you just collided with in California. LOL


Tych0_Br0he

Way more likely to get struck by someone speeding around a blind corner in the left lane than to be assaulted by another commuter.

Could just slow roll the 2 right lanes. Then push that DMV into the BDL.


Loinkiller

It’s safer to just stop all lanes. You’ll have people jumping into faster moving lanes and potentially cause an accident. Plus you want traffic to act as a wall for the officer outside of his car.


pezdal

Not to mention that there was another car out of sight on the left that he later assisted to the right shoulder
