I just saw a news piece where in Oklahoma they are enforceing the left lane lovers law where the b-tards who cruise in the left lane going slow get stopped. RIght now it's warnings, but soon it will be 210 dollar tickets. Finally some enforcement I can stand behind!

 

Thank god, I mean, THANK GOD. Imagine if police actually enforced driving laws and didn't just target speeders, they'd be pulling in so much more money. Think about it, for ever speeder you see (+10 mph over), how many people cruise in the passing lane? Imagine if police pulled over people for not using turn signals? They'd probably be pulling them over in Bentleys pretty soon.

*cheer*

 

The turn signals alone drives me crazier than anything else on the road. I just assume everybody is about to change lanes all the time and never sit even next to someone because I know there are dummies who won't even bother to turn their head to see what's directly there.

I like to hear about the pursuit of these types of offenders.

LOL, i've been a yellow light speeder.
Only do it if I hit every damn red on my way to work.
Im guilty as any other though, road rage is no joke.

I'd seriously support this enforcement. With all irony I guess.
Some tool just 2 days ago almost hit me by switching lanes.
Didnt look, didnt signal, just started coming in at me.
I had to hit my brakes and came close to encountering oncoming traffic and yes, a tailgater who used his horn during this event. All to avoid this jerk.
Im a bright yellow car son, cant miss me in a gloomy day with headlights on!

Im also a business man on the highway.
Im there to get somewhere with good time and get to the point quickly.
Not coming on there to get stuck behind someone that seems to keep even with the fkng car to the right of them.
Or even the dill holes that speed up and then slow down on a regular basis. Tailgaters, tourists of the scenery not paying attention to anything but this amazing dull ass Illinois I-90 landscape.
Cell phoners that both go too slow, swerve and then out of nowhere drive like the moch 5.
Family van with the driver paying more attention to yelling at the rear passangers.
Family soccer mom van that is qualifying for something appearently.
Beat up cars with the muffeler hanging with a modified coat hanger, duct taped side mirrors.
Then the "lets slow down cus we see flashing cop lights with a pulled over car"
The even better "people slowing to see a guy replace a popped tire"
Its curtious to slow yes, but turn and look at every fkng thing AHHHHHH!
Change lanes and give room! Keep moving!!

Oh and the common crazy loud fart cannon as well.

 

I'd love it if they'd enforce the "hands-free cell phone"-only laws in some cities / states.

 

Driving an S2000 in the land of lifted trucks and massive SUVs (aka Texas, for the uninitiated) is pretty hazardous. People float in the left lane, blocking traffic all the time. I've also had people try to merge or change lanes on top of me a few times. I've learned to never hold a position beside someone but to always move past them and then resume my steady pace.

 

FINALLY

 

Yay!!!!!

There's a fellow who works for me, East Indian ethnicity, who was recently pulled over by the ChiP's because he was driving so slowly (45 MPH he said, on a So Cal freeway!) and hugging the right side of the right lane. They thought he was drunk and just pulled him over to check.

No, he's just one of the world's worst drivers! I let him drive us somewhere once in a company car. Never again. Thought we were going to die.
