Anyone ever heard of when you pass someone on the left of the road that you have to honk or flash you lights?

This is what my insurance company is telling me. I have the law number but to me it does not have anything to do with my accident! HELP!

I dont know how to answer all you back. But I have the law number its RS 32:73 and to ME that law goes only if you pass on the right.

I'm answering in BOTH sections/questions. You are partially at fault....but.

Is your insurance refusing to pay?

#1 Was a ticket issued to you?

#2 If NO ticket was issued. Tell your agent, that you intend to hire a lawyer. If that doesn't get results...hire one.

#3 Your insurance agent can NOT convict you of a traffic violation. Nor can they issue you a ticket.

#4 Unless the Officer at the scene issued you a ticket...you have done NOTHING wrong.

This law comes with a fine of $100 and/or up to 30 days in jail. You would know if you were guilty of this "crime". As does your insurance agent.

That's a new one to me. If you want to find out for sure, check out your state's driver's manual. It's probably online or you could go pick one up at the DMV. I've never heard of that or have seen anyone else do that, though.

They are full of it. They must be ditching the claim. Get a lawyer.

It's wrong, im guessing a single person told you this, just ignore them talk to someone else.

In every business, theres always one person whos full of B.S., just kindly ask them to hand the phone over to someone else.

your insurance company is wrong .
ussualy people mad if you honk when you pass them.
you can check at dmv manual driving book .
or you can call and ask dmv clerk for sure

This may be customary in England or Europe.
But it's certainly not done in North America.

That is BS. If someone is behind you in the left lane though, and they flash their lights it means "Move over so I can pass idiot left lane hogger!"

Get a new insurance company that does not give dangerous advice. Call your local police station/district court to look up that law for you.

FLASHING YOUR LIGHTS AND SOUNDING THE HORN WOULD ONLY CONFUSE THE OTHER DRIVER AND MAKE THEM WONDER WHAT THE HECK YOU ARE DOING.YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY HAS AN IDIOT WORKING THERE.


ja man
Never heard of it and I drive truck for a living where do you live that may help also check with your local law enforcement if anything it would be a secondary offense
