Right on..yeah the illegal aliens who clean rooms and work at the Taco Bell in Jackson Wyoming mostly live over in Idaho and commute over Teton Pass in Hyundai accents with 13 inch spinners every morning..they need to get to work in the snow and the people in Escalades and Suburbans have to sit behind them going 22mph..lol

Driggs?


Will they pick you up when your skiing over there?

Jeezum, once in a while we all get stuck behind slow drivers and there's nothing we can do about it. Tailgating surely doesn't help. It's not every trip, every day. Honestly, if it's getting you that upset, you should get off the highway for a minute or two. In the big picture, there are more important things than driving as fast as you'd like. Like skiing as fast as you'd like. Now that's another story.

I feel the same way. The part of CA I'm from actually has signs stating that you must pull over to permit passing and has many marked turnouts. Police will ticket you if you have more than 12 cars behind you.

As I recall Washington has a similar law... signs regularly say if there are more than 5 vehicles behind you, you need to let them by.

\My point is... Some do not have the choice... Not everyone has comfy middle class jobs... Some people only get paid if they work and "type A" drivers up their asses is what probably makes them feel nervous...

I guess my point is that there are always choices.

Sure - we're humans with free will... We can kill ourselves if we feel like it.. It's our choice..

But when it comes to paying bills... feeding families.... paying mortgages or rent... And if you don't get paid unless you work...

Your going to risk it.. And if it means you gotta drive slow cause you can't afford AWD or new tires...

Sometimes people just make bad choices too...

Or even the choice ends-up simply being the lesser of two evils. Sometimes you're just damned if you do, and damned if you don't.
