I'm with you Jeff. The whole thing pisses me off beyond belief. It's just wrong, and it is getting worse.

I'm all for catching terrorists and assorted bad guys, but I don't trust the cops. Many of them (unfortunately, I've met many) are playground bullies out on the street. I find the whole traffic enforcement scene to be corrupt. When did "beyond reasonable doubt" turn into "believe the cops above all else"?

I get pissed off every time some commercial comes on telling me that speed kills, and that speeding won't be tolerated, and the speeding is the same thing as aggressive driving. Bull****! It ain't the same thing. When was the last time you saw your state police driving the speed limit on the highway?

Here's how I fix this problem: start public education and driving lessons based on cooperative driving. Or for those with cognitive disabilities: "Move right, asshole!" In general, if people worked to provide open lanes for faster drivers to move through then the weaving issue goes away. The dangers go down. Lives get saved. Faster drivers can pass slower drivers on the left without getting frustrated and having to weave their way through traffic.

Then law enforcement can set up to nail speeding drivers in the left lanes. They will also have to ticket slow drivers causing backup in the left lanes.

Anyway, that's my plan.
