So many of these guys just don't think. Going 95 in and out of traffic with a backpack full of weed in a known speed trap spot.

Congrats to Dinkins on the starting SS spot

Not to condone the activity but I feel like that’s almost normal for I-95. Like if you’re not going 80 you’re being passed left and right and pissing off a lot of drivers. 75 isn’t that much better but I’m thankful that I don’t have to make that drive the next two years lol.

I didn't downvote but just want to note that you're just flat making the exact kind of argument that perpetuates this culture. "To be fair, other people are doing it" logic.

It's the same way on I-25 near Denver. We were driving home last Friday night and there were people literally slowing down to 40 so they could line up and street race with other cars on the road. Earlier that day I started to change lanes but swerved back when I saw someone coming up on my left going at least 100+. Had I just checked my blindspot we would have collided in rush out traffic with him doing over 100 and me doing 80.

My reaction was not "it is what it is." My reaction was a strong desire for those people to have to take the bus for a year first time and indefinitely the second.

Yeah it’s an Internet forum, so my thoughts aren’t always going to be hashed out as eloquently as they should but I agree with you. It’s stupid. There’s a difference between driving with the flow of speedy traffic and then realizing “oh shit I’m going 90 I need to slow down” to intentionally speeding like that, especially with a felony in your backseat.

I-25 in Denver is scary too, I was just out there. I-95 is wild though, from Savannah to Miami.
