Florida sued for ticketing motorists who warn others of speed traps

What's a texan to do without a cowboy hat and a bottle of whiskey?

Yeah, I hate those guys too.  I usually pass cops 10-15 over without much of a problem.  But most of those times, I'm not in the passing lane. 

I wish people would realize that creating traffic and congestion is many times more dangerous than speeding.  Speeding is not holding anyone up, but lane camping makes the road more dangerous for other drivers.

Lane camping is dangerous because of what it forces the drivers behind them to do to pass, when passing should be clean.  It can affect the traffic patterns on the road in a negative way for a considerable distance back.

A few posts earlier it was just two people, now it's several others?    

Don't believe everything people tell you about drinking and driving, or drinking and doing anything for that matter.  Iit's been my experience that there is a large amount of "macho - look what I can do and or did while drunk" in most of those kind of conversations.

BTW, your manager apparently needs professional help concerning his drinking problem.

There will always be stories like that, and not just in Texas.

The pastor of a church around here had a serious alcohol problem.  He was also the local police chaplain.  He was pulled over many times for drunk driving, and usually they just took him back to the church.  But even with this special treatment, he ended up getting arrested for drunk driving twice.  Worse yet, it turned out that he had been having an affair with a young man (around 18) who went to the church.  The young man's stepfather blew the whistle on that one.  What a mess.
