ROTD: being too nice while driving

[Swimmer]

This post is kind of funny in a way. Some of you guys are trying to straighten out krispy for driving 75 m.p.h. in the high speed, more appropriately known as the passing lane, when 75 m.p.h. is 10 m.p.h. over the maximum speed that your supposed to be traveling. The middle lane use to be referred to as the travel lane and the inside lane was where all the slow pokes should be. If someone wants to travel 75 m.p.h. in the passing lane and that person is in fact passing all the cars in the travel lane then whats wrong?

A friend of mine went to MIT and he and his civil engineering clasmates conducted a study of person driving from point A to point B. Some went the posted speed and sone drove as far as they could to point B. Result was that thier was no discernable difference in the time it took for everyone to arrive, none.

As far as driving to slow in the passing lane and getting a ticket. Thier is a minimum speed law in Mass. but it is not clearly defined and has never been used. Besides wtf, who drives belkow 65 m.p.h. in the outsidelane.

You could put your car in frieking nuetral and get dragged along at close to the speed limit anywhere in Mass.

What about yielding entering the highway? That sign is a farce. Yield means stop if traffic is coming. The most selfish driving behavior in the whole country happens at the end of the on-ramps with people cutting you off. What about the guy who not only cuts you off but ends up in the pasing lane so fast from entering at the on-ramp you dont know how he did it. Its almost like the car he was driving dematerializes and the rematializes in the passing lane. No offense everyone but I reading many posts here written by people who make up the rules as they drive along. And thats why we all pay so much in insurance.
