He was going over the speed limit but what if the lanes were already congested to his left and he couldn't slip over, what was the guy doing from the ghost squad driving so fast, why didn't he have his siren on and lights flashing? I would question the fine.

I believe what should always take precedence is safe and responsible driving, with a view to smooth traffic flow. Speeding in itself is not necessarily dangerous. If your car is car roadworthy and the road surface is adequate then you can drive safely way above 120km/h, just at look at the German Autobahns. And if you look at the UK, they are considering increasing its speed limit on motorways. I always refer to the Right lane as the overtaking lane. I am not a traffic officer so it is not for me to police some other drivers speeding, and they may have a valid reason for speeding, so I will pull over if a faster car approaches me. The problem with many Right Lane Huggers is that they try and justify their inconsiderate and unlawful driving on the basis that they are driving at the speed limit. However, this so often prevents traffic flow, we have all seen how the left lane in peak traffic can often flow quicker than the left lane, but because of these Huggers they encourage other drivers (who are often impatient) to weave between lanes and thereby increasing the chances of accidents. South Africa still has many problems regarding road users, too many cars are unroadworthy, drivers don’t have licenses, drivers don’t obey road signs and law, drivers don’t use review mirrors or indicate when changing lane, drivers don’t get into lane early (particularly when existing a freeway, they move from the Far Right to the slip road cutting in front of other drivers). If these simple problems could be addressed it would make policing speeding and drink driving that much easier.

in a unmarked car, slapping him a R1000 fine...you only move over if its safe to do so regardless of who it is...was it a good enough reason to warrant it? No its actually freaking stupid...it could have been anyone behind him...

I get extremely frustated on the N1, when slow drivers stay in the right hand lane. I flash and hoot. I think they think it's fun and get a lot of pleasure out of it. It is not their business how fast I am travelling, if someone comes up to you, when safe you have to move over to the left hand lane, regardless. They are the ones causing many accidents because they are small minded people.

I would question the fine.......

If, the left lane is clear, Drive in it and stay in it. But if you are in the right line, and you are "passing" other cars. Continue to do so. I will not move left if it means i have to move in behind a slower car/truck. But if i can drive the same speed in the left lane, that where i drive.

I do not see any reason for a fine if no one was endangered.
