Last night I passed a cop on I-70. He was only going about 45 and I was going around 60. I was confident that he had better things to do than pull me over, but in my head I kept thinking that he could. Can't they say that when you're going beyond a 'reasonably safe speed' in snowy conditions that they can pull you over?
I'm convinced that this same guy just keeps doing laps between Vail and Dumont. Saw him monday.Quote:

They call that little revenue raiser....."Improper Mountain Driving" and can be for about anything they wantQuote:

Sister wants to go up to Copper on Friday. God help me.
I see no way I don't spend 6+ hours on the road.
Caused by people tailgating and then slamming on the brakes. The wave of slowing down continues down the line of traffic.Quote:

I hope so, for my sanity.Quote:

After a week of driving around LA and SD, I will never complain about I70 and Denver driving (ok, I probably will). What a fucking annoying place to have to get around. Traffic is more horrendous than ever there...

One thing I do like is how CA highways have those lane reflectors...that would be a nice add to I70
The raised ones? Somehow I doubt those would work well with the plows...
Those LED (?) reflectors between CC Parkway and Floyd Hill are pretty cool at night. Interested to see how they hold up through winter.
Around here they cut grooves in the roadway for themQuote:

Or the ones they have on Snoqualmie pass in WA. They squirt mag chloride on the roadway/.
