Speeding

[Jraymer360]

i admit, i speed. 5-10 mph over the speed limit except on 25/35's

but everyone around here does the same..so whatever. what i hate is people that do under the speed limit by 10 mph...

i mess with people on the highway tho, if i'm only doing 75 on the highway in the fast lane and someone rides my ass i'm going to keep the same speed as a car that's within a car length of me in the same lane ( so neither of us are in our blind spots) just to piss the guy off behind me. it's funny how many raging drivers there are in michigan.

Better be careful, someone may take the time to follow you home.... As I have done. I'm lucky they had kids in the car.

I think most states have laws regarding keeping right except to pass, I never see it enforced and see cops guilty of left lane camping.
Sheep don't belong in the left lane.
And I WILL pass you on the shoulder if you fawk with me long enough and there's room to do so.

I take great offence to the "sheep" remark....read your Bible/Book of Revelation...there's One Sheep is is going to "Clean ****ing House on Judgement Day" (relaxxxx--I'm really not upset)

LOL.

You, Sir, are a Gentleman and a Mechanic!

Kind of funny if you are in such a toot to get somewhere you have time to run somebody down and get your butt kicked.

I'll call *CSP on my mobil phone and report your plate for road rage. (this was posted all in fun you do realize?)

"They're all a bunch of morons"

Who's the moron?

Thank you very little.

There is a frame of mind that everyone has - Everyone that drives faster than you is a crazy person, and everyone that drives slower than you is a moron.

The state that built the road has every right to tell you not to camp in the left lane. It's not safe, you block traffic, and you're not being cute by playing ignorant. Just because you're "at the limits of the law" doesn't mean you're the most important and get to decide how everyone else has to drive. Yes, I understand if you are passing someone you are going to be in the left lane, that's what it is for. Once you finish your pass, get out of the left lane!! It doesn't matter at all if someone comes flying up behind you while you are passing - ignore them and continue to do what you were doing. They'll jump right back into the throttle and go once you finish your pass.

Or pull up next to you, in the shoulder, with a gun hanging out of his window... Been there and helped him fix the bullet holes in the rear quarter afterwords.

Several years ago The Pennsylvania State police has a (sadly) temporary iniative
to enforce "Failure to keep right" on the interstates.

The main reason for this was slow moving trucks that stupidly tried to pass each other on the many (MANY!) Hills in pennsylvania were creating massive traffic "Tails" which "bunched up" traffic.

All the effort to hunt down speeders is stupid when there are other things more important, but so much effort has been spent for so long to chace down "Dangerous speeders" that police cannot admit that they've been WRONG for generations.

Frankly, I think people using handheld phones and texting while driveing are as dangerous if not more so than drunk drivers and I think the penalty should be simple and direct...

when someone causes an accident due to cell phone use I think they should be tied spread eagle on their own car hood and left in the sun while traffic is stopped to allow a sufficient number of randomly chosen witnesses to arrive then a law enforcement officer (if there are no volunteers available in the witnesses) should then shove the offenders phone up his/her ass.

a Proctologist will NOT be provided by the state to extract it.

Speed violations are enforced because it EASY to enforce.

Frankly the one "slow poke" that obstructs the flow of traffic is in general FAR more dangerous, because they force others to manuever around them.

IF I were allowed to shoot every fifth person that has while driving below the speed limit in clear conditions pulled into the fast lane cutting me off so they could make/take a call on their wireless phone without worrying about right lane merging traffic the bodies would still be piled very high...


Do remember that the interstate highway system was generally DESIGNED for 1950's vintage cars to travel safely at 75mph plus.

Modern cars are FAR safer in a collision have, vastly improved (And reliable) braking and the average econobox can
outmanuever even most 50's vintage Road Race cars.

I was the one in the pass seat getting shot at.

Another thing that might be considered is traffic density. back in the sixties and seventies you could drive on an interstate, motorway or autoroute (depending on country) for sometimes an hour or more without seeing another vehicle. They used to time you with a stopwatch and if you outran the airplane they used to get really pissed, don't ask how I know. Around here they will check if your doors are locked when you park on the street, if not they write you a hefty ticket, put it on the drivers seat and lock the doors for you, now that's real police work.

Yea. One of my buddy's had some freak follow him home one night about three years ago. My buddy was getting off duty from his HP shift and drove his own car to and from work that week. He saw a guy cutting in and out of traffic and tailgating people and then started to tailgate my buddy. My buddy called it in on his cell phone. My buddy slowed down a bit and the tailgater then cut around in front of my buddy and then braked hard and then got beside him and tried to ram him!!! My buddy turned off at a different street close to his street and the idiot was still watching him and was still following. He got back on the cell and said where he was and was notified a unit was around the corner from him. My buddy stopped in the driveway of another house about 6 houses from his and drew his Glock and got out of his car. The idiot came up to him holding an aluminium base ball bat. Guess who one that fight?? Guess who went to jail??
