Eff the right lane

[goodkarmarising]

Most American's don't know how to handle speed at all. I personally would like to see the speed limit, especially outside of major cities on the interstate opened up to 80 or 85 mph. We have some of the least congested interstates in the world and yet we have speed limits ranging from 65 to 75 mph. I really dislike that I have to drive 75 mph give or take when I'm out on a interstate with hardly no one around me, espc in western KS or parts of MO.

[MuddyWaterWarlock]

Why should I get over and let people drive dangerously? Maybe I'm just trying to save their lives, Maybe I'm just trying to save innocent people that get hurt by people that like to drive to fast, maybe I'm just arguing because I'm bored and really don't care.

Or maybe you're just an ****?

Now we might be getting somewhere

I could go for that if it slowed people down in congested areas....and if EVERYONE goes 85 at the same time, no passing or stopping....enter....

I schedule jobs around traffic, if I'm goin into the city, nothing before 9:30. Sittin in traffic pisses me off.

Is it not illegal to impede the flow of traffic in your states? It is here. My ex always was mad at people who speed because whenever she would, she would get a ticket (wasn't the brightest bulb). To get back at them, she would go the speed limit in the left lane. I freaked on her when she told me that, telling her she is going to get hurt by pissing off the wrong person one of these days and also that it's illegal. She didn't believe me till she saw the sign on the road that says "slow traffic keep right"

yea but doing the speed limit isn't impeding...technically

So, what if the gubment put governors on ALL vechicles except emergency vechicles.

Think about it. Everyone has the exact same top end speed. 65 MPH. That takes away all the leap frog passing bullshit. All of the 'if you aren't going 70 you get run over" bullshit.

I like it, I like it a lot.

Smart cars are even better idea. Most Americans are not smart enough to handle driving anyway. They all think its a video game.

Leave the thinking to the traffic controll center. Read your book on the way to work.

When I started driving the national speed limit was 55 mph. Its been a shitty decline ever since the limit has gone up.

Beat me to it.

Even the LP recognizes need of public safety. I have read their entire platform. Can all of you say that?


All better now!

I hate people who think because they're going 5 over the spoedlimit in the left lane they don't need to get over. BS

Does that make the one going faster in the left lane any more legal than the one going 5 over? Aren't both of you breaking the law, so how is one or the other one right?

I'm saying just because you're speeding the left lane doesn't mean you can block other people wanting to go faster

But if I'm going over the speed limit, why should I get over for somebody going faster than me? Who is right? Neither.

its common courtesy. You're comfortable going 5 over. The person behind you might be comfortable going 10 over. Why are you jamming them up. Just get over and let them pass then go back to doing your 5 over

Damn doctors and their "its a medical emergency" excuse in their arrogant ass tones. I tell em we all know the nurses do all the work, just before handing em their ticket

[Tomkat]

Mr Redbeard, you have any general comments and observations to make on this topic?

Do you think its a good idea for everyone to go faster than they all ready do?

What have you read about smart car tecnology?

CA, BTW, will probably be the first state to implement it.

Yes. Increasing the speed limit won't solve your problems. You'll have the same problems. Just at higher speeds. Dan will be saying "if you don't drive 90 here you'll get run over." Doc will be pissed cause the dude in front of him doing 87 won't get outta the way for his medical emergency.

The solution is simple- plan ahead, you bunch of slackasses. Barring a medical emergency, there is NEVER a need to speed. It is just a result of self-importance and a lack of planning. You don't like going the speed limit behind me? Too bad- get up 5 minutes earlier.

[Redbeard]

But I rejoice in ya'lls complaints. Means job security for me


Know nothing bout smart cars. I'm still 50/50 at downloading videos here

exactly right my man. Nothing makes my morning like doing 65 in the fast lane on my way to work and pissing off all the locals

AMEN Brother.

Its called law enforcement, not law suggestions.

Driving the speed limit in the left lane is a dick move.

I know this is from the first page, and no I am not going to read the rest of the thread....

BUT if any of you actually feel this way... you are effing retarded!

The left lane is for passing vehicles that for one reason or another are traveling between the minimum and maximum speed limits and are traveling slower than you, assuming you are also moving at or below the maximum speed limit.


If there are 5 lanes on a highway and the speed limit sign says 70 MPH.

the center lanes... the right lane... and the left lane... are ALL for going between 45 MPH and 70 MPH! NO MORE, NO LESS!

If the MAN is going 63 in the right lane on a 4 lane, I will set cruise to 65 and pass him. Still have not broke the law.

Never been pulled over for it.

I usually drive in the "smooth" lane, whichever one that happens to be

Not trying to be smart. Just saying that sometimes one of your LEO will cruise under the speed limit, and I dont mind passing them, with in the limits of the law. Thats all. its never been a problem.

Would you pull some one over for it?

[assateague]

See? He just sped through this thread. Lack of planning always leads to a poor result.
