Jersey does indeed need it.........I must say the few short days I have spent in my life driving there were more than enough for me to need therapy for..............I was driving an 18wheeler though and was sure I was gonna be pulling civics out the tires by lunch....

That's great. Now I might not have to run for office in the future to put in a law that has snipers take out those people.

I might still have to do it to take out the ones that follows really close, and when you move to the right to let them pass, they pass and go even slower....

You said it. I just dotn see why they are gonna allow people who have 2 or more people drive slow in the HOV lane. Yes its for carpool, but also to get there faster thats why you carpool. Not for idiots thats carpool and drive slow they can sit with the other slower people in the regular lanes if they aint trying to get anywhere fast like the other 1,000 some people in the HOV lane.


But to this article its about time. I cant stand that. Im from the east coast where people actually adhere to this rule and it makes it so much easier. Plus they actually get out of your way if they are going slower than you. Unlike this state. Im also used to driving 80 on the highway as 70 was the speed limit. So it really gets agrivating when someone is doing 55-60 in the left lane and the far right lane is passing you and nobody will let you over. < another problem here too. Nobody likes to let you over even with a blinker.

In Oregon the left lane is for passing only. Once you pass you are suppose to move back to the right. Yeah right! People drive with there heads up their backsides I wish they would enforce it.

^ I know PA its a law. And a few other states have certain areas. I havent been to NY so i should have specified more. But yea people are still driving slow. But what really annoys me about the driving around here is nobody knows how to stay the same speed. I mean how hard is it to stay at like 65-70 when you have no cars making you slow down. I mean the 70 to 60 to 65 to 60 to 70 to 55 is so annoying. I can understand when there is traffic but otherwise its ridicoulous.

Yea i did it im bringing it back. I need to vent cause obviously nobody got the memo except us SL'ers. holy crap people. 55 in the left lane thats BS. 60 in the left lane and the carbehind you riding your butt and 9 more cars behind ya thats "nails on a chalk board plus Ben stine and you mom licking a napkin to wipe your face off when you were a kid" agrivating. You aint gettin over what an a**hole. Urge i want to go back to florida. i have never been more upset driving here. Also some people just dotn know how to look before the get over or stay in between the lines. argh. oh and somebody hit my truck oh and wait for it...... no note. No real damage just a ton of there paint on my bumper. but still the nerve. Im sorry i love yal but i cant wait to get outta Seattle area. People can just be so stupid. They think they are the only ones around and that nobody wants to get anywhere.

Sorry for venting.
