    that's actually false. the biggest offenders are the big 5 that all they can do is 65, they constantly keep that cruise set and can't slow down for nothing
     
    Still undecided and Bean Jr. Thank this.

    While it's a valid criticism; you also have people who impede traffic which are major causes of accidents and congestion... They shutdown major freeways and interstates multiple time a day....
    1. Stopping on on-ramps while right lane drivers give you at least 300 feet to get out
    2. Stopping in right lane before hitting an empty off-ramp
    3. Not in the right lane going ANYWHERE under the posted in free flowing traffic
    4. Going slow and stomping on the accelerator when someone goes to pass(usually cellphone users CMV and otherwise)
    5. Fluctuating speed at least 10MPH(usually cellphone users)
    People who do things on that list shutdown major interstates and freeways on a daily bases.... Law enforcement are so overwhelmed by people doing stuff on that list they can't even enforce impeding traffic and handheld device laws do to shear volume of violation...

    By the way mega-lease and small fleets doing 70+ through 55-65 zones is all day long... The companies only care about appointments, and the drivers think it shows they are 'runners' who make more money... Irony: the majority of the drivers governed to 65 not only have bigger paychecks, but they can also afford to be in a backup without being late...

    im also on I294, freaking punks driving recklessly. Im saying it as it is.
    Just look at them, young kids out of control behind the wheel of a tractor trailer. Im saying this, because i see how there driving recklessly and then see there face behind the wheel. No sugar coating. Just look at them. im not going to be afraid to say this, because its the truth. See a semi truck driving dangerously, get a good look at them, then you`ll see what im talking about.
