Any evidence to back this up? I've seen folks fly past VSP at nearly triple digits, with no movement. Their response to my complaints: "If we don't see it, there's nothing we can do".

Someone pulled out in front of me requiring me to lock up my brakes in Williston road. I honked accordingly, she clearly did not give a fuck to LOOK. She then flips ME off multiple times and does 10 mph on the road all the way to home 2 suites or wherever she was staying. Wtf???

I’m all for stopping road rage that is a hazard to all involved. But if someone wants to go 10-15 over on a highway, move the fuck over and let them.

Fixed that for you

This and the tailgating fkn everywhere. For tailgaters out there: you’re not getting there any faster. Maybe like half a minute? We are going to be stopped at the same red light down the road so just chill man. Use cruise control if you have to. Frame your expectations around the speed limit+5 mph, maybe +10 in the passing lane on the highway. If you’re tailgating me when I’m going over the speed limit, you can bet I’m clicking cruise control down to the actual speed limit and we’re just going slower.

She’s getting downvoted due to lack of credibility from recent activity, reputation, past posts, and conflations, bad arguments and divisiveness. Even if the arguments are on point she’s basically gone so far left she’s spun around right and is borderline condoning political violence. No solutions or ideas are presented just hate and vitriol. Remind you if anyone? RamaTrump 2024

Same here. Seems to be the same quality of driving as the rest of the northeast

Let me paraphrase; “If everyone doesn’t agree with me they are vile, violent and racist. And if you think we can just agree to disagree and stand by idly then you are complicit”
Pretty sure if you had your way you would be the violent authoritarian my friend. You might feel better if you ate some humble pie, got out of your bubble and try to meet some people. You will find a lot of different perspectives but one important thing in common; we are all just humans doing the best we can. Compassion and love for each other, even in the face of hatred is the way.

Reply to Tesla Powerwall by Horrible_eggplant
We had ours installed in 2019 and it has been a great addition to our home solar (Suncommon). GMP installs it for free and you get on demand backup power with no interruption when the service goes out. We live in Colchester so its rarely out for more than 12 hours , but the two batteries we have totally cover all of our needs for about 24 hours (within reason). GMP makes a point not to draw them down leading up to storms where a power outage is more likely so its the perfect alternative to a generator. So overall, a great experience.
Its interesting to watch how GMP draws the power from them to balance peak demand (primarily in the summer). They then fill them back up when demand is not high. It seems too good a deal to be true but it really is as advertised.

Yup same with my wife’s car. I’ve also flashed people only for them to turn their brights on….whoops sorry friend 😬
What I hate are the jacked up trucks with LEDs in regular projectors so you have two eyes of Sauron blasting at direct eye level in every single mirror. Bonus points if they aren’t secured well and jiggle over every bump.

It is the same apologist BS we see with major religions, There are always the 'good' ones that are held up as beards for the broken/power-mongers who exploit the systems they live within. Do i wish the GOP was full of Scott's? yeah that would be an improvement but unless they reversed course and started making their much esteemed Capitalism work for the common person regardless of ones skills or grit or what-have-you/exploitability id still vote for Democrats generally speaking.

I find the 2 lane roads to be even more dangerous because people love to pass and hit others head on

I’ve driven 89 so many times and never seen any road rage or bad driving comparing to what I see where I live.
No really if you think 89 is bad then come drive on any rural highway in Quebec or Ontario and you’ll see that they’re total shitshow’s
They’re full of people doing 60mph in the left lane and people merging onto the highway doing 45mph

💯 Trickle effect of the trauma humans faced these past few years. Also Covid brain is not helping people make good choices. 🥲🥲

I see a lot of issues arise in the areas where thru traffic should actually be in the left. I think a lot of people don’t realize that these areas aren’t for high speed passing.

All those benefits are funded. 2023 is fully funded with a balanced budget. Try again.

Yeah the "Keep left if you're passing through" area around Burlington seems to confuse a lot of folks.
