That's because most CO drivers are calm and orderly...or something. Might also have something to do with the fact that a large percentage of the cops in Colorado are undercover, and some of them drive Intrepids. The undercover Intrepids are completely stealth too. The only thing that really gives them away is the government license plate and the uniformed officer behind the seat.

People in Colorado have a completely different driving style from people in California. They drive much slower, calmer, and have less road rage. I'm not sure if that has to do with less traffic, or the weather or what, but I find myself driving much faster and more aggressively in California. Also, everyone in Colorado hates Californians and Texans. California transplants either crash because they drive too damn fast in the snow in their damn SUVs, or they drive too damn slow and **** off all the "natives" who drive hillbilly pickup trucks with stickers on the back that say NATIVE in big letters.
They wont.

That would be nice around here. I don't understand why the "fast lane" has become the slow lane for idiots. I have seen people enter the FWY, and immediatley tear over to the #1 lane when there's no need, and go less than the speed limit. I see this just about every day. See someone freak out at the moron going 55-65 in the fast lane, they finally move over for the person having a fit and then they move right back. So weird.

Incidentally, my pops told me they just made it illegal to drive while talking on a hand-held phone in Hawaii. Between these two laws, there would be like... 3 of us still on the road. FOCK.

or maybe because they have 1/3rd the drivers on the road and no where near the traffic.

I HATE COLORADO. Sorry. Bad experiences related to that state...I refuse to enter it again. It's been 7 years. I fly through dallas or chicago instead now. No freakin lines on the road where they should be. People drive like their stoned. BOOOOO. But seriously. Less people. less traffic. Less of a hurry. Less anger.


as for the tickets. I think they should ticket people for driving too slow or for failing to yeild the right away in faster lanes. It's unsafe. People stay there and you get people pissed off...huge lines of cars behind them. Then people are flashing lights, riding people asses or swerving into slower lanes and risking causing accidents to get around people. I hate it.

it's not that hard to realize that you have a mile of space in front of you and 40 cars behind you..maybe you should move.

I get pissed when you blip your lights at people and they don't move. Or worse yet they slow down or slam on their brakes or start flipping you off. It's like...dude...if you were usuing your mirrors and had your head out of your *** you would have seen me coming a half mile ago and been moved already.

I know when I see someone comin up on me I move over.

Like I've said 100 times....STRICTER tests are needed. Nobody knows how to park, merge or give right away...3 of the most basic parts to driving next to gas me goes brake means stop.

I wish they would implement/inforce this here. I too see people all the time get on the freeway, merge
over 4 lanes and start camping at 56 mph. Drives me crazy.

I hate this more than the person who leaves 100yards in front of them in traffic. I'm not saying you
have to tailgate (that's another problem) but come on, keep up with traffic.
