People with guns? I don't know what you're trying to get at. If you're trying to say minorities or Democrats, you're also drawing correlation without causation.

And who commits these crimes?

Ok so let's say I am on a 2 lane highway the right lane has cars doing 60 to 65 here and there. I and a stream of cars are going faster at 75. Nobody wants to go right and get locked in at 60 because one guy thinks he is entitled to go 100. He weaves , cuts people off, using truck lane to pass people. I just wish cops did traffic like it was 1980

Absolutely right. I was once behind a state trooper who was suddenly put on his lights and began this maneuver on 95 between Bridgeport and Stratford. When he came to a stop, blocking all lanes, he got out and dragged a chair to the side of the road.

Because, shockingly, crime is where people are. Chicago Metro area has a population 1.5x that of the entire state of Indiana in roughly a quarter of the area. Population density often coincides with increased crime rates everywhere.

I think a lot of people just literally dont know how to drive. And their only logic is left lane= fast lane.

Imagine actually supporting the government leveling civilian communities and being ok with it.

Weird take.

How did we defeat the British? The Nazis? With hugs and kisses?

Indiana should be a war zone with all those “lax gun laws” but it’s not, Chicago is.

Then why don’t those adjacent places have the same level of violence as nyc LA or Philly?

Yea and why would criminals register their illegal guns

you aren't entitled to exceed the speed limit regardless of what lane you are in.

I believe there are a couple things at play. For highways where there are no left lane entrance ramps, you only have to pay attention to traffic that would come from the right. Add that the far left lane is supposed to be the "fast" lane and people that pop over there immediately are assuming it's going to make their trip easier.

And then they screw it all up by not going with the flow of traffic... :-)

I think you are mostly right for Connecticut. But depending on where OP's friend is visiting from, it's not hard to imagine her having a tough time or feeling disrespected

Sounds like they really didn't keep track how many people stayed home vs who still had to work to keep businesses running

I've seen some comments like yours too, some people it didn't complete or even load

lmfao

I began noticing this 25 years ago on my hour long commute to work with drivers aggressively getting into the left lane after entering the interstate, only to slow to 50-55 mph. There were no left lane exits on my route.

My question then and now is if there is info out there that I missed about the left lane being safer/better?

Yum!

We always ask for the sauce on the side with the take home buckets. Reheat the wings and sauce 'em up fresh

I understand your point, but if I can garner positive experiences and recommendations here then that at least gives a jumping off point.

One contributing factor hardly satisfies a simple fact check.

I mean but you’re talking about a very narrow subset of the population. They need to be trans + go to a nail salon. I imagine it’s very stressful as a trans person to walk into a new situation and not know how you’ll be treated so I can understand the need but you’re probably going to have to do a little leg work on this.

Should you have to? No, in a perfect world this wouldn’t be an issue at all, but this isn’t a perfect world. I mean in my experience at most nail salons they are pretty business like. “What color? Do you want them cut?” I’d pick someplace nearby with good reviews and give them a call.

Bethesda?

It's more that left lane campers are often complained about as being worse in CT than anywhere else because of our left lane exits. My experience over the last two days tell me that the left lane exits don't make a damn bit of difference.

It's not our highways, it's just the people driving.
