Not Spyder... But its the law

Well when you find a "middle of nowhere USA" let me know! So many more people on the road everywhere it seems. Cars are bad enough, trying to commute on a bike in all that - no thank you!

It's quite sad. I want to get out of here so badly and move out to somewhere a little closer to the middle of nowhere.

There are plenty on middle of nowhere places, just no jobs there.

It's scary commuting on a bike, that's for sure. Too many distracted idiots with drivers licenses.

I believe the law in Texas covers 'emergency vehicles' not just police cars. By the way, a police car sitting on the side of the road without emergency lights is NOT an emergency vehicle.

Maybe....but as soon as you go by and those lights come on as it pulls in behind you constitutes an emergency for me EVERY TIME!

I travel a little section of I-80 everyday, and the State Patrol double-team it to catch people who don't move over. When one has someone pulled over for speeding, there will be another one just a bit up the road to catch the guy who didn't move over or slow down.

My spousal equivalent got a warning for that right after the new law went into effect.

Looks like Southwestern CT on any given day, except we only have 3 and two lanes of traffic! Doesn't matter what time you take the Merritt or I95 - it always gets like that. Add in pot holes, jersey barriers, road construction, idiot drivers -so much fun

Driving the Merritt from Fairfield County to East Hartford, between 5 and 6 pm was more like being in a NASCAR RACE at speeds of 70 to 90 mph, 4' from the car in front and less than that with the car behind. If you left too much room for a car to change lanes, you can bet they would.

If you drove slower, you got run over and than the tunnel, Forget about it! Always had accidents in there.

Do I miss, I 95 or the Merritt? Nope! But still have nightmares about it. RT 7 at rush hour, another nightmare after getting creamed on my way to Wilton. Put me out of work for 3 months.

Oh yeah...forgot all about route 7!

Lots of jobs lost here and more on the way...very uncertain times. Hdx is changing careers because of this.

I use the tunnel as a time warp

Remember Rod Serling?

Your Right the tunnel is like, Your Now Entering a New Dimension! The Twilight Zone!

I loved that show and the theme song.
