We were right. It's just sad people in a dark room throwing money away.

And yet we get in trouble for taking matters into our own hands to fix our own problems:/

I break check fuckers. I hate this town

Appreciate your insight.

Wire Road Brewing will be open

Ebbets has pancakes and biscuits and gravy and will open at 9a!

This was asked yesterday

I used to commute to Monett every day and it does seem that everyone traveling on 60 west of Republic is racing to say goodbye to an actively dying relative or like someone on a suspended license driving 10 below the limit to be extra sure that they're not pulled over. Not a whole lot of drivers in between.

I feel that way at times too. Due to somewhat recent events I've been a bit more anxious from the tailgating, and remembered a question from my CDL driving test.

For fun, I'll give you the same multiple choices the test asked me for dealing with a tailgating driver.

Do you -

A.) Flash brakes and use turn signal indicating to let them pass

B.) Progressively slow down until they pass

C.) Pull over to the side of the road with hazards blinking to let them pass

D.) Point your finger out your window in the direction you want them to pass

I was kind of surprised at the correct answer

According to the test, the correct answer is >!B!<

If you are in the left lane and people are tailgating you, move. If you are in the right lane and they are tailgating, they can move to the passing lane. Simple.

The speed limit is only 35 on most of National, and 40 only south of Battlefield. People need to slow the hell down.

It's like I said in another comment, I've just had to adjust my understanding on what it is a police officer's role is.

When this happens to me I just pull over a bit and let them by. If they’re in that big of a hurry just let them get around. They win by getting to move on past you, and you don’t have anyone tailgating.

Laughs in other 70%.......

Okay Karen

No. It won’t ever happen. I’ve heard a few reasons as to why; #1, area is not populous enough and #2 there aren’t any distribution routes that go directly through or to this area for them. I wish that it could, but it’s not going to.

SPD is 90 officers short. They won't do jack unless someone gets murdered

I drove that many years to and from Monett. Other than Billings PD controlled areas, it's the wild west on that road. Do what you're doing. If someone is being dumb, back down to the exact speed limit. All you can do. Just don't speed up in the passing lane.

I love driving the speed limit

What are you gonna do, pull me over?
