The ONLY place I will pass on the shoulder at anything close to speed is on the hill in front of Dysons. Otherwise I haven't passed at speed since the young girl was killed on Rt 5 in Callaway years back. Waiting on traffic to turn left, somebody attempted to pass on the shoulder, clipped her, and pushed her into oncoming traffic. She was killed in the head-on collision.
then the problem is cars behind you passing both of you.
That is all relative though, I know someone who tried to explain getting a speeding ticket on GMR at 72 mph as keeping pace with traffic.
I don't know that I consider reckless idiots to be within the realm of the relative. No sane person thinks 72 is reasonable on Great Mills road at any time. And I think if you took 50 people and asked them what they thought a reasonable speed to pass somebody on the right was your answers would range from pretty slow on up to maybe the speed limit a little above nobody's thinking 10 or more miles above the speed limit is a reasonable speed to pass on the right. I'll go find the article but I'm pretty sure. Like I said, he had already been pegged as operating recklessly passing people over the double yellow and doing other crazy s*** before this crash.
Going to have to disagree with this.
But that's what I meant
Only approximately 63% of people need to believe something for it to be considered normal. From our local drivers id say 1 in 3 do fall outside "normal and reasonable".Sure, and I worked with a guy once. Former military, we worked on helos together. Now he was avionics, I a knuckle dragging ordnanceman, but he was the one who swore up and down that a guy in prison had cured AIDS while in prison, but The Man was keeping it suppressed since it was killing down low black guys. This was in the late 90s.
My point being that most people are normal. That's how it becomes the norm. I didnt think I needed to repat nobody sane..
Being awful generous there, Skippy
I'm a generous soul.
