Read the whole dialog Jethro.

Everybody is going 80. You go with the flow of traffic or you wind up causing an accident. However, a few ambitious guys who want to up the tempo to 90 or 100 don't have the right to put everybody else in danger by slaloming through traffic. I wish going 65 even in the right lane were a possible solution. It's not.
Agreed. Thats the only thing I miss about California when I had the visited there. Traffic went at a uniform speed. Unfortunately often that speed was "2 mph." :banghead:

People speed, let them Chase that ticket and help them along by getting out of the way. I don't know why people are so heck bent to play hall monitor and deliberately impeed traffic to stop speeders. If you have cars behind you that want to get by...MOVE! Otherwise you are instigating road rage and have little regard for others. Frankley if you are one of those that won't let someone over or won't get out of the way you may have issues far greater than your driving. Let's all try to promote a polite society, this world needs some new examples to follow.
I'm ok with that if those who are traveling stay at a safe distance until a safe opportunity presents itself. But when does that fantasy happen? I also have an issue when Cletus the frsutrated NASCAR driver, gets frustrated with someone in the left lane and tries to get on MY bumper when I am in the correct lane. Back off! I already have a messed up hip that causes me pain every day thanks to one of you people.

Can we compromise and just make speeding a $2,000 dollar offense? :txflag:

1) You are holding up traffic.

2) It is not within your purview to decide how fast other people get to drive.
Well to play devil's advocate, he's not holding up anyone driving legally. The law does not recognize illegal activity as a valid claim.
