Instant Karma Is The Best Kind Of Karma

i hate it when people just sit in a merging lane. that cop should get the ticket.

I hate it when people sit in the merging lane, too. But, you'll see there's a yield sign, which means that the turn lane doesn't have its own lane, and the driver must merge with the traffic in the slow lane of the new street. The yield sign also means that the turning car can't merge with traffic unless it's safe, and if it's not safe, you sit there and wait until it is.

In those traffic conditions, it wasn't safe for the cop to merge with the bumper-to-bumper, slow traffic, therefore, he was doing the exact right thing in waiting for a safe point to merge.

I think we can both agree that the other guy is a dumbass and deserved the ticket he was issued.

there was a yield sign, however it was it's own lane. look how far the yield sign is away from the cop. look at the traffic coming and how they werent next to the white line. there was a merging lane and the cop didnt follow simple zipper merging tactics. i stand by my statement.

Your statement still makes no sense. Yield means you do not have the right of way until all vehicles pass that do have RoW. Had the cop pulled into the merging lane and someone had to swerve into it to avoid, let's say, a child in the road, the cop would have been ticketed and could have been personally sued by other parties.
