Because they're almost always people who think they're more important than everyone else, and are going to try to squeeze back in farther down. They're just trying to cut in line. It slows everything down even more because traffic has to grind to a halt to let them squeeze back in, once they come to an overpass or some other obstruction in the shoulder. 2. The shoulder is needed for emergency vehicles if there's an accident, fire, or medical emergency. 3. It causes accidents. People aren't expecting cars to be booking past them at high speed in the shoulder. If someone knows they're in the rightmost travel lane they're probably not going to check their blind spot before taking a right exit. ___ For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://striplin.net/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_striplin.net -- Gabriel Soto Southern California 1987 300D 230K=-
[MBZ] O/T Road Rules
From: Gabriel S. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Re: [MBZ] Road manners (was: Auto tranny 240Ds are slow!)
To: Dave M. [EMAIL PROTECTED], Mercedes mailing list
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Said in part:
9. In instances where traffic slows to 10mph, all shoulders shall
become lanes.
_snip___
Sounds like an idea from New York/New Jersey. If a 2-lane road has
one lane blocked, it becomes a 1-lane road. How does feeding 3 or 4
lanes into it speed things up? Is there some magic here?
THE SHOULDERS ARE THE ONLY WAY THE EMERGANCY VEHICLES HAVE TO GET TO
THE SCENE! Plug them up and you guarantee a bad situation will get
worse in a hurry.
Hope it's not me that needs the help.
Than there is the issue of road rage; If I'm waiting patiently in line
{be it grammar school lunch or a traffic jam.} What gives anyone the
right to cut-in being rude to all who are doing the right thing?
There are several State Troopers in this state {Connecticut} that will
divert such cars to the side of the road, wait until the road hazard
is clear and than go over and explain the laws to the folks that are
in a bigger hurry than I am.
I always give them a thumbs-up sign as I go past.
Pardon the rant here. Stupid driving bothers me. Don't get me
started on idiots that drive with 4-ways on in a situation they
believe is dangerous.

HAH! There's nothing that makes me madder than idiots who cruise in the
breakdown lane when the beltway traffic has come to a halt.

Re: [MBZ] O/T Road Rules
I honestly don't see why anyone would care if people are cruising in the
shoulder...they are the ones risking the ticket...opening the shoulder in
high traffic reduces traffic by 40%i saw it in the history channel on
the show modern marvelsthe german highway patrol allows it on the
autoban.
