Amount of times they’ve talked about this project they would of been nearly done with it by now. The economic affects of this would be a net positive 100%.

So it's okay for them to drive recklessly because they have good insurance?

Cops are afk lol. I accidentally go 20over the limit on highway right next to them and dont get pulled over.

When I was a student there a student was hit and killed by a UConn bus, which was driven by a student. I don't think it was the driver's fault though, if I'm remembering correctly.

Why would you seriously expect the trooper to do anything? He can’t chase the vehicle if it runs, and if the driver stops and gives the trooper grief (which he probably will) the trooper is going to have a bunch of Reddit clowns Monday morning quarterbacking how he handles the situation and calling for his job. Yeah, it’s infuriating to see this kind of blatant lawbreaking go unaddressed, but a disengaged, barely-reactive police force is what you get when you spend years calling all cops bastards.

That's bullshit, local police have stopped me for going 14 mph above the limit.

But a guy going like 35ish or more mph over doesn't get stopped.

What the heck.

I see people run reds regularly now. I’ve started seeing people just take lefts on red (no green arrow) so keep an eye out for that too I guess…

Unless it’s a mugen. But I doubt that’s the car in question

Agreed, paying $372.00 for 2021 Honda CRV even with all discounts included.

How long were you staring at the storm drain? The police involvement is limited to notifying DEEP. If/how/when DEEP responds is up to them. It’s usually not immediate.

That’s the thing… these people are assholes. But they’re also recklessly endangering lives. And when they get injured and injure others we call it “an accident.” Nah man that’s vehicular assault as far as I’m concerned.

CT state police make most of their ticket money by focusing on DOT violations. If you haven't noticed, the dark color SUVs are the DOT police, who mainly pull over 18 wheelers and other hauling vehicles.

I've heard that truckers try to avoid our state as much as possible for this reason. There's definitely still some enforcement on speed, but as an everyday commuter, I'd have to say it's pretty lax at best.

Remember, we have less than 1000 state troopers for the entire state as well.

Maybe if they had more funds or more police...

Thank you. We civics have had enough of the slander. We are no longer fast and loud. We are slow and reliable.

Lazy azz police ugh

The cops know they cannot safely catch them. They hope the person slows down sooner, rather than later - as they would while being chased. I don't condone it but i know more accidents are due distracted drivers with their face in their screens.

CT pursuits? Very rare.

Wonder if it was the same gooob in the white 340i upbadged as an M3 that did the same thing to a bunch of cars on 291 this morning.

I have to drive on this highway two times a year. Today was one of those days. I saw a motorcycle lane splitting doing 100 plus

So did you get the optional turn signal package.?

Change the laws so evaders are 100% responsible for all damages both criminally and civilly. Stop putting the responsibility on police.

>They aren't effective.

Must be why the FHWA regards them as a proven safety countermeasure.

Somebody poured motor oil down the storm drain across the street from my house. I called to report it they said somebody would check it out and no one ever did.
