do you speed?

The left lane is for passing, not blocking. I don't understand why people feel the need to police other people. Get a badge, or get the **** out of my way. I pass on double lines when i feel it's safe. I pass on the shoulder, i pass on the right. You blocking the left lane does nothing for you. unless of course you're comfortable with my 300 horses sitting in your back trunk. Which i assure you, i will gladly place there at the risk of my insurance bill.

I know i drive fast, i don't tailgate unless provoked, and i always use a turn signal.

God bless.

And this is acceptable?! :doh:

Does calling the police really make any difference or does it just clog up our non-emergency lines for more prudent issues? I doubt someone can get a ticket or get arrested if their plates are complained. Also are dispatchers really gonna send a cop several miles ahead of where you are calling from?

I highly doubt it and like I said in my previous post not only is this all extremely immature but it is ineffective. There are other ways to use your energy to stop speeding.

It's clearly not, or there wouldn't be laws about it. Do you ever feel like a sheep? baaaa, stay in the herd.

Calling the cops on someone breaking the law is immature? Well what if someone was stealing some stuff off your lawn? It's just crap, so it's only kind of stealing... Better leave the cops for the murders.

And yes, if an officer is in the area, I have many times found someone down the road pulled over. If that person slows down by getting pulled over and maybe saved a life in the process, I feel pretty damn good about myself.

This is the type of thinking you basically cannot have a rational argument with. Just selectively ignore laws you don't think are right eh?

Now that summer is closing in I can't wait to see my favorite motorcycle drivers on the B/W Parkway. You want to talk dangerous, those guys are killing themselves and others all the time. Doing stunts, weaving in and out of traffic, passing between cars, etc...

It is really bad and when I pass one that has splated like a bug on the windsheild because they crashed my heart is really not all that sadden. The police really need to crack down on them, it is out of control.

Malcolm, i've been reading your posts for a long time. And i like what you have to say most of the time. You live/d in Lexington, where i went to school. If you want to have a rational argument with me, please do. I understand what you are saying. And i think that for the most part, you are clearly in the right, and i am in the wrong. I am just spilling my heart here, and telling you how i am. Sometimes I feel the need to step outside of the box put around me by Joe Average and Joe's Average's local representatives in Congress. For that i apologize, that is simply just how i am.

And there are other issues at hand, such as lax punishments for speeders and those who cause accidents. Also more cameras that give tickets in the mail should be kept, they are proven to deter speeding and reckless driving.

If anything Schneed is causing further congestion, lack of improper traffic flow, etc. I am sorry for your loss, but why don't you use all that energy you have towards a more productive cause? Work for an organization that advocates changes in traffic laws, or an org. that educates people. etc. because this one man personal vendetta doesn't really achieve anything.

A day or two later they will speed again.

TMC I don't this calling the cops is really immature, I think it is ineffective. I actually suggested calling the cops to Schneed, whom I think is quite immature with the slowing traffic down bit.

I can understand that. The fact that you know it's wrong is better than people who feel like they have the "right" to do it.

Did you go to VMI or W&L?

Think lower SAT scores and hazing.
