[QUOTE="venmos1, post: 15856199, member: 40656"] yep it happens everywhere. I see it almost on a daily basis. That and people driving with damn dogs in their laps. We have a 2 lane road (2 lanes in both directions like a highway, but without a divider) that is one of the most dangerous roads in the state. It is a 55mph zone and people absolutely fly on it. Several years ago (maybe 5 +/-) they (police) used to watch it, nailing a lot of speeders, Now you hardly every see them on it. If you do see a law enforcement vehicle its in the fast lane with no one around going about 70. I witnessed a young girl hit a car from behind (they were stopped in the left lane to turn left) right beside me. I was in the right lane. She went to swerve left but i was there and hit the car. I looked over just before she hit and saw her looking down on her phone. Dumb. There just needs to be more police out and about. One good thing around here is there are a lot more under covered police. I agree that there needs to be a heavy fine / consequence. It is super dangerous.
