I lived in LA for a while and an idiot going 35 in the left hand lane of the 405 while everyone is going 70 is going to cause other accidents because of people trying to get around him.

Wrong, it is the idiot overtaking unsafely who is causing an accident.

[/ QUOTE ]

And the moron who is going too slow in the left hand lane--is he without blame or fault here?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, absolutely blameless. The only moran is the one overtaking unsafely!

[/ QUOTE ]

No offense dude--but it is people that think like you that cause many of these mini "road rage" events which actually cause those people to attempt to pass unsafely. Traffic on the road should move with a certain flow. People who impede this flow by driving too fast or too slow in their respective lanes are the people who are most likely to be involved or cause accidents. This has nothing to do with speed limits, but rather the speed that traffic has decided to go, whether higher or lower than the posted limit.

No offense dude, but attribute road rage to another with a safe and legal behavior is pushing the responsibility to the wrong person. Road rage seem to stem more from a psychological deficiency in the one that exhibits it.

As the traffic deciding I would rather expect the people in the traffic abide by the law governing driving on public road. Anything that will reduce the number of people infringing these, by issuing fines, by random testing, by cameras, will make driving safer for all. Go cameras! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

How many hours of my life should I have to give up in undergoing safety checks and regulations, etc in order for you to continue this pursuit of feeling safe?
