the shit part is when traffic restarts and you are suck behind all the dips who sit in the left lane and can't go the speed limit or won't pass it's maddening

Its just a strange reactionary CDOT Hot Take. I'll take a chained up Safeway semi with a driver that drives over Berthoud 5 nights a week than an SUV with banana peels piloted by a clueless flatlander.
So the highway isn't fricking closed when we need to go to the airport or a Denver hospital or when the fuel and grocery supply trucks are trying to get up.Quote:

Good luck!
You know what fucking amazes me. People taking a video (or pic) while driving in a snowstorm and then posting this shit. Ummmm how about focusing on driving and keeping your hands on the wheel you fucking idiot?

To be fair they were probably going like 25 mph. But I just spent a few hours in a busy national park with people walking around with phones on sticks everywhere and not even watching where they were walking so I cannot argue your point.Quote:
