posted speed limit rant

287 up through Colorado… every dang time

 

Winner.

 

Ain't enough cops or time to bust all the people needing to be. Whether speeders(not , aggressive driving, lack of using a bloody turn signal, etc. I'm of course lumping in folks in four wheelers /personal vehicles in that statement. Not just folks with a CDL.

You want to talk about something serious, let's discuss the lack of bloody turn signal usage, or the people who can't seem to figure out how to turn off their high beams. Use the bloody turn signal! It's not hard! Not sure why I'm surprised though. Even cops don't use them half the time.


Some folks wish for World Peace when they see a falling star, I wish that people would use their #### turn signals! Well, not always, most of the time I wish for tacos.

That’s Hwy 54, from Wichita to Tucumcari. No sense in it.

 

If you go the speed limit pretty much anywhere in the northeast you'll get ran off the road. Just go with the flow of traffic. I-90 through Massachusetts is a prime example

 

Then complain to thier company to let thier trucks move at the flow of traffic when the limit is 65 or 70 and they won't be struggling to make any realistic time in the 55 zone.
I know when they hog the center and slow everyone else down its frustrating but poor training, bad company policies from pencil pushers that couldn't cut it as drivers are telling these fools they are safer at 60 in the center and everyone is passing them on both sides.

 

I have made it a habit to question people just getting a license, people who complain about other drivers especially when I know they aren't very good themselves and generally anyone who starts yapping about driving simple questions. One of them is proper use and legal limit for use of a turn signal.

Right now out of the hundreds of drivers not counting CDL drivers I have asked I would say 99% didn't know any answer and the 1% only knew the less than 35mph half of it.

Some of these people had just passed thier driers test. Some just passed for a permit to learn but most were seasoned drivers with years on the road.

 

if you're going with traffic you're good, su and get out of the way if you really want to go 45/55 across the whole corridor while the entirety of the metroplex cars local freight and public trans is going 60-75. police have to be able to prove a speeding citation was simultaneously causing a clear and present danger, within circumstance

 

50 in Milwaukee in a few spots , chill out before you have Aaortic Anyerism.

 

yeah but those are actually for a reason (rollover), like through pueblo nm, 65 mph through there and you'll make it to the wall and take whatever's in the left lane with you
