"Hundreds ticketed under new Slow Poke law" Take that left lane cruisers!!!!

[More Kirk Less Spock]

people who impede traffic in the fast lane are either impolite, unaware, or some combination of the two. They cause traffic to become congested and they are not only annoying, but a danger to the highways.

You must not drive I-10 very often.

All the time. Was on there this past weekend from Lake Chitty to DeFunk and back...

And you don't see the constant presence of FHP in Jefferson, Madison and Leon Counties? For that matter Gadsden and Jackson as well?

I agree with Colorado for the most part

Nah, CMAN is right. Compared to other civilized countries, Mericuh is the least attentive to speeding and dangerous driving and the resulting deaths. Mericuh is perfectly ok with you killing other people as long as it's with a car or a gun.

Wut? this is probably the most incorrect statement I've ever seen on the board.

Now in Europe, they are a bit more aggressive with highway speeding, but the speed limits are far, far higher than ours and the are super aggressive about fining left lane cruisers. It is the exact opposite of what those in this thread desire. Also the autobahn, with no speed limit is one of the safest highways on the road. Throughout the world though the U.S. rights far more citations and it's not even close. People from other countries are usually aghast at the sheer amount of police we have.

No constant presence and very few if any people pulled over. And the few that do get pulled over here and there are no where near enough to deter speeding. People weave in and out of traffic and routinely do 80 to 90 and above on that road which is entirely too fast...
