A warning to stupid drivers.

I'll just toy with you then.

Catch up to you, get in front of you, slow down to 25 mph, then, just before you blow your fuse I'll go back up to your cruising speed, 30mph...ok ok 35mph , turn on my hasards, stick it back into second and burn it all the way to third so that you eat my rubber. And I'll do this again, and again, and again. Then you'll want to catch me. And you you'll fail...

HA! I beat an engineer! Watch me gloat!


Imaginary victories are the best!

Spec.

If you really want to get my goat, turn on your windsheild wipper fluid when you're in front of me. I hATE it when ppl do that!

Shut up, Wesley.

Florida needs one of these laws.

[DRoseDARs]

Over the AARP's dead body it will have one...

[Japher]

So it's just a matter of time then.

Umm, I am not sure this is such a good idea. It seems to me that this would keep traffic carrying capacity down. Think: if less people are using the passing lane, it remains mostly empty.

I think that a "slower vehicles right, faster vehicles left" rule would be better.

But that's exactly why this is necessary: Slow people aren't following that. They're using the left lane as a travel lane instead of a passing lane. Sure speeders are using it as a travel lane themselves, but they're still passing traffic to their right. Have you ever driven on a multi-lane road before? You get a group of these slow hall moniters-type drivers and you have yourself a rolling traffic jam.

I did that for a living, for some time.

what needs to be done is the adjustment of speed limits to realistic rates, and then the fining of those who consistently and without reason drive slower than the speed limit on the left line.

It's very simple, but stupid anachronistic speed limits are here to stay. ( But hey, the law is the law. Even when you don't like it)

I was being facecious, Az.

Wow. That's impressive. I don't even know what that means.

where I live people driving the speed limit will intentionally stay in the left lane, because they believe it's their moral right to prevent people from exceeding the speed limit.

That used to happen all the time in Illinois...

Not any more

They should let the police do their job, imho.

[Dis]

also, another problem where I live is there's just too much traffic to insist people stay out of the left lane.
