Should be punishable by a $50K fine and a beating in the nearest town square

Every driver you passed gets a punch

I see this a lot on I-12 in Livingston Parish. Usually a squatted truck driver. It’s exceptionally dangerous.

I've often thought about it, but never did it.

My luck I'll pass a cop.

Can we also punish road engineers/planners who create clearly inadequate in length turn lanes and off ramps?

Related, I get great joy at one that is planned and built right.

I don't mind, if they are just trying to get to the next exit.
If they come around on the shoulder and try to cut back in, frick them.

Yeah people speeding down the shoulder suck

Was sitting in stop and go wreck traffic on I-12, people kept zooming by on the shoulder and I cursed each of them like a dog.

About 30 mins later, I moved a half mile down and LSP had each of those people pulled off in the grass and he was stroking them tickets. It was kind of nice.

I also get jealous when I see people do this knowing I don’t have the guts to do it too

I-75 north just outside Ocala

An 18 wheeler hit an overpass

Right two lanes closed

Flatbed trailer had a piece of equipment that hit it

Overpass had a bunch of exposed rebar and broken concrete. They were picking up crushed concrete from lanes

Must have happened soon before we got there because Waze did not reroute

Was between two exits about 6-7 miles apart

This happens in my town getting off the interstate. On the exit ramp you got a lane to turn left and then a lane to turn right. Some of these canadians like to ride on the shoulder to get around those sitting in the turning right lane. When I see this about to happen I pull over real far into the shoulder to stop them. Of course these canadians want to get butt hurt they can't thug out but you can't ever have anything nice bc of dem.

Had an accident this morning and they pulled in my parking lot. Chick boxed the truck in to keep him on scene. Dude was wearing skinny jeans, they must have cut his circulation off. The officer refused my request to cite him for wearing them.
