Everyone knows it’s Road Repair season.
Why is it, then, that they feel compelled to pass me often in excess of 100 mph (I’m doing typical expressway 75-80, and they pass me like I’m parked)so they can bunch u, stopped, a half mile ahead? Is everyone too stupid to understand that this is what CAUSES the stopped traffic?
Oh, yeah. Sorry. nevermind. Nothing to see here, go about your business.

there is another class of speeders
well actually a class n 2 sub classes
first is young women probably under thirty driving probably small red car..
Then there is the the I’m better than you guys and a few gals .. who drive the biggest baddest suv’s .. they pass even the lil red cars with the big titted young women who use their wiles to evade the speeding tickes
Yeah, and my wife wonders why I really don’t want to drive out to her folks’ in PA during the height of construction season in a couple of weeks…
I don’t understand the hurry. At the end of life is death and every minute you save puts you closer to the end.
My Wife came up with an idea that sounds tempting. Have the Nanny State make ALL Automobiles remove Crumple Zones, Seat Belts, Air Bags, Anti-lock Brakes, “OnStar” and Automatic Transmissions, then just let the Darwin Awards flow like water moving downhill.
You know, like the American Public used to have to Drive in the 50s/60s.
Oh, and AAA would be BANNED from coming out to change a Flat Tire for a 20-something.
I can only guess that you frequent I-88 then. Makes a fella want to own a set of personal spike strips.
Precisely. And attach them to the bumper of your truck so that tailgaters are penalized immediately
Oh, it’s not just that.
It’s all the idiots–excuse me, FUCKING RETARDS–who drive right past all the signs which indicate that the lane they’re in is closing, and drive right up to the merge and THEN decide it’s time to get over, where traffic is bunched up and they can’t get in…because after all that lane is CLEAR and they can GO!
…saving themselves no time whatsoever, of course.
I saw a lot less of this craptastic asininity when I lived in Iowa, strangely enough. But the majority Illinois and Indiana drivers are apparently incapable of realizing that the lane closes for everyone.
*sigh*
Is everyone too stupid to understand? Yes and all that matters is that they get through the construction zone ahead of you.
Yestiddy I was coming S on I-5 from Everett to Seattle and hit a temp. lane closure with the arrows a mile and a half ahead of it directing drivers to merge into the right lane.
At the merge point were three nice young people with white cars with a Star on the doors, and wearing Blue Smokey the Bear hats writing some sort of (I think) invititations or some such to a looooong line of drivers who had passed me in a desperate hurry to get their invitations a few minutes earlier. I waved and gave ’em all a congtatulatory finger. I din’t get an invitation, though. Maybe next time.
You wouldn’t believe how many workers are killed by assholes blasting through the barricades.
While sitting still on I-20 last weekend in one of the aforementioned repair zones, I noticed a semi behind me pull into the still moving left lane. Once he started pacing another semi in the right lane, I realized that he was simply encouraging all of the special people behind him to OBEY THE SIGN AND PULL INTO THE RIGHT LANE! As he got to the repair zone, the semi in the right lane allowed him to pull in front and proceed leaving all of those too-important- to-obey-the-signage drivers stuck in the left lane. I would have given them both a medal if I’d had two.
