I live in California and I was working in Missouri driving down a split state highway, two lanes on each side. There were no other cars on the road at the time until I saw a police car coming so I moved to the right lane and so did he and pulled me over. He said I can't drive in the left lane even it is is empty , it is only used for passing. He really got Pi$$ed off when I showed him my Iowa drivers license and my truck had California plates. I had to explain that I had a Iowa License because I spent more than one month there but was living in Missouri on and off part time. Finally he asked me where I paid state taxes and I told him California, what a mess.!! I did not get a ticket

LOL...reminds me of when I moved to SC. Had a SC license, but had another address scotch taped to the back of it, then moved again to a rental house in a different area. Driving home one Friday afternoon, was going to be first day off in 2 months, and had a 6 pack of beer on the front seat, and got pulled over by State Police doing 50 in a 40! He questioned me on the funky license stuff (all legal at the time), and then looked at my plate, which was Pennsylvania tag! Back down the rabbit hole for a while more, but I think I wore him out, as he cut me loose with a "have a nice weekend" and no citations or tickets!
