OFFICIAL I70 BITCH THREAD....

[The SnowShow]

I don't do the 70 drive back and forth to the city for work anymore, instead driving to places like GJ, Montrose, Steamboat, Gunny, Durango, etc....But had been in Pueblo on Thursday and was driving home Friday morning and was reminded how bad it is. The amount of people just cruising in the left lane, oblivious to the fact they are doing anything wrong, is amazing.

Yeah, and when you flash or honk at a jerkoff going 50 in the left (with no one to their right) and then fly past, they flip YOU off.

If you want them to speed up, just try to pass them on the right. Virtually guaranteed.

I don't know - after dealing with Austin retards for a few days on i35 and 183 I don't think Denver drivers are that bad

Yep - that's the other thing. Some floor it when you go right for the pass [emoji867][emoji867]

I always laugh when people claim, "The drivers in <whatever city with a shitshow traffic situation> are the worst."

*Human* drivers everywhere suck. Even when they're paying attention, they're pretty shitty at it.

Agreed.

I don't know about worst, but I can say with some certainty that Vermont drivers are, on balance, the slowest.

Not the worst, but Texans sure like to shift across multiple lanes fast, like every exit comes out of nowhere .

The places with the worst traffic have the worst drivers

Agree. And it's worse now with all the phone distractions.

Chances are that most of those bad drivers came from another state. Like Cali, CO or ILL.

Another across the median, head on crash killing 2. Closing the interstate for 7.5 hrs on a Sunday. When will CDOT wise up and install barriers or catch fences in the open sections of the median from 470 to the buffalo exit?

Hear that one was really bad. Some family said the crash looked pretty horrific. Took them 4.5 hrs to get to Denver.

These summer crashes are almost worse than winter. Higher volume of cars moving at a higher rate of speed. It's not faulty equipment like in the winter with shitty tires, just faulty drivers.

This accident confuses me.
All reports say driver was westbound, meaning he was going uphill. Also, the stretch of highway is straight.
I'm guessing this is not a simple case of distracted driving..
Horrific nonetheless.

[hatchgreenchile]

Horrific

Pretty much all you can say about this wreck.

Empty 100mL bottle of fireball and one unopened beer found in the cab.

Damn. The lady that died was an old work colleague.

Shitty drive has gone next level. Cops seem to want to do nothing about it. I can bring myself to #511 because I hate cops. To be bad a driving is one thing. To be aggressive, unsafe and militant about it is gonna get your ass kicked. Where are these people from where they think they can flip you off and yell at you from behind the wheel with no ramifications. Last week in the middle of a huge thunderstorm. I put it in park, got out, walked up the the drivers window of a Telsa and told the guy, "I'm gonna kick your fuckin' ass!" Of course, Mr. 60 plus wet his pants and high tailed out there. I'd love to know how he tells the story. Where I grew up it was better to get you ass kicked that be pussy. I guess thats not how it works these days.

pro-tip - I guess your not supposed to say, "I'm gonna fuckin kill you". Possible legal ramifications. [/not a tough guy, just can't take it any more.]

I tried to drive in the right lane on my way to work this morning. Made it 3/4 of a five mile drive. Just couldn't take it anymore. Out of state plate lady going 20 under on a highway with her left turn signal on.

[adrenalated]

I'm curious, how does TGR rate the average assholeishness of owners of the various automobile brands:
BMW
Audi
Tesla

I think BMW owners are still on average the biggest dicks, but Tesla owners seem to be catching up rapidly.

[The SnowShow]

Almost had a head-on along 285 this week: two lanes going up a hill and I go to pass the guy in the right lane. Some asshole going the other way decides to try and pass a bunch of stacked up vehicles behind a truck, so now he's in my lane headed towards me. He starts flashing, I start flashing. I swerve back right in front of the guy I pass while the asshole whizzes by on our side of the road. Unreal.

I hate single lane mountain roads where people get all uppity about slow traffic and taking big risks to pass.

[Name Redacted]

Never like Jeep Grand Cherokee drivers. Always seem to be the ones I get into it with.

I vote for the lifted truck bros, especially the ones who have clearly never taken their rig off pavement.

Audi above all.
