"Traffic Laws" I have observed

[gassprint1]

I drive below the speed limit every day on I70 headed to downtown. I leave early and try to relax while taking my time getting to work. I want that trip to be nice and slow. For me riding in my car either listening to music or praying is more calming than being in a hurry to get to work.
But, there are three lanes going in my direction. I stay in the middle which leaves the right lane for all vehicles entering or exiting the highway and the left lane for those whom wish to go fast.

Thats how i travel in multi lane highways. Always believed the center was the safe and correct lane. Don't remember anything on my test about 3 lanes

Why not take the surface roads instead of the interstate? Then you can drive even slower.

Nooooo! Then he’ll get on 31 and drive 40 mph!

It wouldn't be the same going stop light to stop light. Part of the reduced stress trip is setting the cruise and just holding the wheel while the crazies go on by. It is relaxing. Plus this is pre-dawn; before 6:00 am; not much flowing out there.

Sometimes a white Dodge Ram Cummins zooms past me; must be doing 90? As we own a Ram 2500 Cummins, it is enjoyable to hear the roar of the diesel suddenly appear from out of nowhere and then its tail lights quickly fade once again into the darkness.

When I have to go in to the office, I'm on 465 by 5:15 a.m. and it's already crazy busy by then. Going under the speed limit in the center lane will get you killed.

Sounds like your purposefully trying to obstruct traffic and cause an accident.

You Indy people don't know how good you have it. Your rush hour is our everyday on I80/94 and I65 in NWI.

 

[Ingomike]

There is not a single driver that KNOWS when you merge into traffic the driver in your merge lane is under no obligation to yield the right of way. The obligation to MERGE is on the merging driver. The safety factor is on them not you. You are driving down the **** road.

IKR? Yesterday on the southern Indiana freeway of IN-60, on the commute into downtown Mitchell, there was a truck towing a trailer, hauling a run down old yard barn, blocking the entire westbound lane. I bet traffic was backed up 2-3 cars deep. Traffic was snarled for moments. They don’t know how good they have it.

And that is wrong. The center lane is for vehicles driving faster than the right lane and the left lane is for vehicles going faster than the the center lane. The center lane is not a zone out lane where you get to cruise slow and relax…

Many years ago, one 4th of July weekend, I was going up I65 and then headning west onto 80/94. I was on a 1973 Honday CB750. I spent something like 45 minutes on the interchange loop from I65 before getting onto 80/94. It was so hot. I kept shutting off the bike to limit getting it too hot. The only relief was when traffic briefly crept beneath 80/94.
Yes 80/94 is a terrible stretch. No matter how much they develop it, there are not enough lanes.

Left lane horse*hit needs to be enforced strongly. Ran into several the last few trips out.
They get offended when you pass them on the right.
Self centered entitled *ssholes.

When you pull up to a left lane pacer and accept the challenge….

 

[Timjoebillybob]

And that is wrong. The center lane is for vehicles driving faster than the right lane and the left lane is for vehicles going faster than the the center lane. The center lane is not a zone out lane where you get to cruise slow and relax…

What I was taught in driver's ed is pretty much what they said, right lane was for vehicles entering and exiting, center was for through travel, left for passing.

City people use to lines, lights, and medians on the road tend to drive very slowly on country roads. It is like they fear every car coming toward them is going to be a head on collision, especially at night. I have had quite a few that nearly came to a stop when driving at night in front of me.

This is fact! I call the Borman ...Kamikazee 94, and I65 is the NWI Killing 500.
Rain, sleet, snow, winds, its 75+ either road.
ISP? LOL. Only doing Security during construction and blinding lights at night along with Highwaymen.
Wish we had those cameras taking pics at least 15 mph over limit. Plenty of business there folks.
add: Lets all give each other a little space too. !/2 a car length at 75 mph. Yep, looks great.

I rolled up to a 9 car collision off Cline last week on off ramp. 2 schools busses, 3 Semi rigs, and 4 passenger cars. Guess it was all that speed limit and correct distance between that made that happen. Gosh lets keep that insurance premium paid in full! You need it!

Yes you did. Had my tongue tied around my eye teeth. Couldn’t see what I was saying.

 

[BigRed]

When you're making a left turn and the light turns green, get your sack into the intersection and ready to go. You're not the only one turning.
