Legal Advice
Today I drove past a minivan tailgating a car in the carpool lane to my left. The thing that made this interesting was not just that a piece of junk minivan was frustrated by how slow the car in front of it was, no, the interesting part was that the car in front was a $250,000 Ferrari going about 53mph in a 65mph zone even though its top speed is probably 200mph. I also found it especially interesting that the Ferrari was in the carpool lane even though the only person in it was the 30ish female driver with a giant blonde ponytail and sunglasses with lenses the size of pumpkins.
Are there any attorneys out there that could confirm for me that I was within my rights when I ran her off the road? Thanks.

I’m from the law firm of Dewey, Cheatham & Howe and I feel you were well within your rights to do what(ever it was) you did.
That will be $600.

Perhaps she was too busy playing with her new radio?

I think it falls into the same legal exception as removing people who leave their turn signals on for miles, and never use them when they’re supposed to, or old vinyl roof sedans with bad front seals that cruise in the left lane at 50 with their roof inflated like a giant vinyl pillow, whistling away…….oblivious to anything and everything.

Maybe the Ferrari was actually a replica, and was unable to go any faster. It could have the body of an ‘06 Modena, and the engine of a ‘83 Datsun 240z.
