Obeying the law should not provoke rage in anyone. Good citizens must help the police. I chose to do so by driving the speed limit in any lane on any highway in our area. If you can't control your speed, your rage, your erratic driving..then get off the road, you are the danger, not me.
Wow! Ladies and gentlemen, I didn't realize we had Superman here on City Data!
Do you perform citizen's arrests? You should. Apparently it is your right.
I'm not making excuses for those who break the law, but I do find fault that you feel you can single-handedly fix the problem. You have to realize that your opinions and actions will never ever ever ever ever ever ever change the opposition. EVER.
Unless you have red & blue lights on your car, your insistence will do NOTHING to the common driver except instigate anger. You would do so much more if you would just keep you driving habits out of the passing lane.
and we don't need speeders, road ragers, and tailgaters deciding what the speed limit should be.
Wouldnt it be easy to simply obey the law. Years ago there was tacit approval to drink and drive until MADD fought the battle to enforce those laws. Now, even those that accept speeding, obey the DWI laws.

road rage go both ways, so I'll discount that. tailgaters are not acceptable either.
however, the 55mph law was put in place not for safety, but for fuel efficiency years ago. I refuse to believe that it makes sense to have the same speed limit on a four lane highway as it is on public roads like Deer Park Avenue, Motor Parkway, etc., where there are plenty of opportunities for people to drive into 55mph traffic.
65mph seems to work perfectly fine elsewhere in the country, with equal traffic conditions (i'm not referring to rural areas of vermont where it's upwards of 75mph)
that being said, i'm not saying i make the laws either, and because it's higher in one place makes it OK for another. But it's not up to either of us to ENFORCE IT. Get it? Saying it's your duty to help law enforcement is ridiculous.
taking bets: the righteous Gpsma will break at least 1 law today. And so will one of his kids.
