[Cincinatus' Wife]

I sit and do a slow burn when I'm in a long line in an exit lane or have moved over and joined a slow moving line to get around an accident and watch car after car fly by me so they can cut in the front of the line.

Sen. Steven Geller, D-Hallandale Beach, wants to make it a crime for drivers to cut in at the front of the line at exit ramps, accident scenes and anywhere else traffic backs up.

But who is going to write the citation? I never see a cop when I'm driving. My county has two deputies on duty at any given time, and their patrol area is huge. Plus, half the time they are at their station or in court. I think laws are fine, but they are largely unenforceable.

It's simply amazing the number of illiterate idjits on the road that pass by a sign on the interstate at 70 MPH that says "left lane closed 3 miles ahead" and they keep in the left lane. They pass by the sign that says "left lane closed 2 miles ahead" at 50 mph and continue right on past the next "lane closed 1 mile ahead" at 35MPH. They continue to the "lane closed 1000 ft ahead, merge right" until the left lane is visably shut down and their next 25ft would put them over the barricades then expect you, who merged right five minutes ago to stop so they can move over and they get thoroughly preturbed if you give them so much as a crossed look. They're the reason traffic bottlenecks and completely stops at lane shutdowns.
