Question about road construction...

You guys ever get down to Trinidad, better really hone up on your best defensive driving.

I can tell you he's telling the truth!

I can also say it wasn't me.

I come up on a construction zone from a speed limit of 30. I slow down to 10 (20below the speed limit) you with me? a guy with a slow sign is going crazy, moving his arm up and down, as to motion slow down. My problem isn't that he is telling me to slow down, it is that if you want me to do 5mph put a fu&$ing 5mph sign up. Seems simple to me.my .02

This is something that really buggs the hell out of my wife. We can be entering a construction zone speed of 30 MPH and can slow down to an absolute crawl (like 5 MPH to almost a complete stop) and the flagman will still wave his arms frantically to go even slower. Guess they are like robots or zombies.

It's all about the cardio man. You have to get the arms and legs going in a vigorous manner

I drive for about 80% of my work. People everywhere drive like complete assholes. No regard for the law or your and most importantly their safety. I hate seeing some dipshit coming up the on ramp with no regard for the rule of law. My 35' trailer is going to decapitate you and your kids because you think I have to get out of your way when I can't. So much more to rant about. I'll just say this, if you have your kids in the vehicle, stop driving like an asshole! Let the kids have a life even though you are a miserable, ignorant douchemouth.

I blame the unions, and their members.

I was being sarcastic. That seems to be one of the easiest escape goats the trolls around here use.

BPT is right on the money.

Most drivers are idiots in first place. If they are texting or yakking incessantly on a phone while driving then triple the idiocy.

Last night I was coming down 70 and CDOT was doing work in the left lane of the eastbound tunnel just east of Idaho Springs. Everything was well marked at least 2 miles before the tunnel, approaching the tunnel there were 3 police cars. What do people do, they stay in the left lane until the last possible nanosecond and then cut in front of the guy to their immediate right. I had some jackass in a big box truck try it on me, he ended up cutting the guy off behind me.

Those cops could have made a fortune writing tickets for careless or impeding or something, I don't know traffic law.

The rule that most folks follow when driving goes like this - "you're first, right after me, and if I cut you off well tough shit, I'm first".
