re: Can we go back to enforcing traffic laws again?

On my daily commute, I see at least 3 people playing on their phones while driving on the I10.
If I can see that while driving for 30 minutes, imagine what a state trooper could see driving the interstate for a full shift, instead of sitting on the side of the road waiting to ticket someone driving 8 mph over the speed limit.

But what about the people going 20 over in the left lane that never get over? Is it not the same thing?
Its not, because the ones going 20 over aren't slowing down traffic behind them.

How about semis outlawed from 10 mile pass attempts. They should be locked up.

Rarely did I ever see BRPD pull anyone over for traffic violations and you would always see Altima's and Honda Accords with mismatched bumpers driving around BR with no license plate.

But there's no traffic laws on the books that say you can't flip your vehicle over.

I absolutely agree. But practically how do you do it? What is the speed threshold? Someone going 5 over cruising in the left lane? Ok. But what about the people going 20 over in the left lane that never get over? Is it not the same thing?
Speed is irrelevant in your scenario because the left lane isn't for "cruising." If I am going five mph faster than someone or 20, once I pass them I get back in the right lane like I'm supposed to.

If you leave even a one car length gap between you and the car in front of you, even sitting in the right lane, some dickhole who needs to tailgate and cut everyone off will jump in front of you. They tailgate the guy in front of you and cut off the person in the next lane. These people are always driving some shite box with mismatched panels.

This is why zipper merge is doomed to fail.

The solution was a robot pace car. There are a few YouTube videos on this phenomenon.
I mean most fairly new cars have a sensor that places you the appropriate distance from the person ahead of you.
But fricking try that, you leave that gap and 3 cars will swoop in and take that gap

-Blinkers are for suckas
-Stop signs are nothing more than misspelled YEILD signs in the wrong color
-Left lane = my lane
-Semi trucks have full use of the interstate, in any lane, at any speed they desire
-Bus drivers are allowed to break more traffic laws than police

So your issue isn't left lane cruising. It is slowing you down. I agree. But your gripe is framed wrong.
You want to be able to do it but not other people.

What color do you think a stop sign and a yield sign are?
Hint - Yield signs are red and white just like a stop sign. They haven't been yellow since 1971.

Half of the drivers on the interstate in BR, their sole mission is to follow as closely as possible to the driver in front of them.
