I had the pleasure of driving on highways in France this year and it was so
cool. No one, not a soul ever, spent more than the time to quickly pass in the fast lane . They even managed to figure out three lanes, using slow in right, fast in middle and pass in left, without a problem. No body waits on anyone.

A osted speed means you are supposed to drive at that speed.
That's why is says SPEED, not SPEED LIMIT DOH!

That sure would be welcome ! I loved it when I lived in Germany and that
was very strictly enforced as was someone on your right side passing....fast ticket time. Now if they could get the HOV laws standardized. Most of our roads that have a HOV lane is HOV-2 (or motorcycle) a few are HOV-3 and they vary as to some are far left lane and some are far right...and then others are HOV only during certain hours, so it tends to be a bit of a guessing game at times. At least the Speed Limit on most Washington Interstates are 70 mph, so that helps. Thanks Diode ! Tedd -- Tedd Riggs Redmond, WA 1998 C5 6 spd "Diode" > wrote in message et... > Really. No joke.

We need a law for "All Lane Impatient Pompous Ass Jerkoffs" who feel they have a God-given right to go faster than everybody else, no matter if the rest of the world is already doing Speed Limit+. Personally, I think there should be no civil or criminal penalty for slamming your brake pedal to the floor and either ejecting them about 50 yards down the road or decapitating them with their own hood (depending on whether they're wearing their seat belts.) Have a nice day. -- The real Tom Pendergast [ So if you meet me, have some courtesy, aka I-zheet M'drurz [ have some sympathy, and some taste. Accept no substitutes! [ Use all your well-learned politesse, $1 to Mick for the .sig ---[ or I'll lay your soul to waste. |

Also, having driven across the country a few times, I've found HOV lanes
that are full time & others that are select hours only - but different hours in different states ! As for speed limits - most rural freeways in AZ are either 65 or 75. But there was talk of raising the Phoenix-Tucson section of I-10 to 80 or 85 - don't know why, as speed is not the problem. The problem is traffic density, which results in slower vehicles, doing about 50 PASSING even slower vehicles & causing a 3 mile back up. They don't need an 85 limit (most folks do 90, given the chance - what they need is 3 lanes. But that would cost more than changing the speed limit signs. Shame really, because the longer they wait to do this, the more urban sprawl will raise the price of the desert land, between the 2 cities :-( "Tedd Riggs" > wrote in message news:Bi33d.610$Bg5.281@trnddc07... > That sure would be welcome !
