re: Doubling Down on Dumb: Louisiana May Consider Lowering Speed Limit on Basin

I drive it a couple of times a week, I think 95% of the trucks follow the lane restrictions and run about 60 mph. The issue is personal vehicles traveling 75+mph, they need to set a posted speed limit of 60mph for everyone and set up speed cameras every mile that ticket people +/- 5mph from the posted speed on that stretch of road.

Suppose to be 55 mph for trucks.

When will people realize the the speed in and of itself is not dangerous? It is the lane switching. When I get stuck behind someone cruising in the left lane on that bridge I give them a bit to get over but if I have to pass, I always look into the vehicle to see their dumbass and almost always either one or a combination of two things are the case:
1) Someone stuck on their phone and oblivious to the traffic around them.
2) A Texan that is completely zoned out presumably on the long drive back home.

I drive it five days a week and have been for over ten years. More like 60% obey the restrictions, and I’m being generous. They need to ticket the ones who don’t and make examples out of them. That would help get compliance up. A speed limit of 70 MPH and strict enforcement of the law against traveling in the left lane for all vehicles would help.

I (along with many others) am firmly against anything that gives the government more power.

Or, hear me out, you take that idea and shove it straight up your arse.

95% Has not been my experience but it is still most that stick to the right lane. But I’ve seen guys going 60 switch to the left to pass a truck going 55. That is frustrating if you’re trying to speed .
