I am driving 55 MPH, speed limit is 55 MPH
What happened is that three vehicles were attempting to pass me. The first one that passed me pulled in front of me.
The second vehicle pulled along side the first vehicle.
The 3rd vehicle was right along side me.
We come up to a police officer pulled along the side of the road. I'm assuming the car in front of him that was pulled over because of the police officer. His vehicle lights are flashing (police officer).
The law states that you need to either pull into the left lane, or slow down where nearing emergency vehicles along the side of the road with their lights flashing. I attempt to slow down, but the 2 vehicles on my left are also slowing down and I am unable to pull behind them safely (I had glanced and saw from traffic was slowly starting to build up.)
My speed was 45 MPH when i passed the police officer. He pulled me over and I received a ticket.
Was I in the wrong?
