Default Dave, which lane do you use on I-465?

I-465, the interstate ring around Indy, is >= 4 lanes wide.
Dave, I believe you drive there quite a bit, as you correctly
recognized the IN-37 on ramp in the pic I posted.

Which lane do you use on I465, and what's your cruising speed?

Lemme guess: leftmost, and 55+7=62 mph. Right?

Moved away in '96. But before that, I used whatever lane was available. I
don't think I often used the leftmost lane, as I didn't drive it much during
the rush and because I didn't normally go very far when I did get on it.

No, on a big road like that, I'd simply set my cruise speed (not necessarily
cruise controlled) for whatever the traffic was doing, plus a few mph more.
I-465 is not in Virginia. Get a ticket from ISP? I can pay it. Ditto
sheriff, etc. It wasn't the death sentence that they try to inflict in
Virginia.

If I recall, I usually used the lane just to the left of the rightmost lane
mostly. Switched when I had to pass.

That proves my point about speeding penalties being too low. You admit
that you just pay the fine and keep right on speeding. If you faced a
week in the county jail for each mph over the limit, you wouldn't
speed. And don't tell me the jails would be jammed then, because I
guarantee very few would speed if penalties were severe.

Damned, you've posted some *incredibly* stupid **** before, but this is
nearly the top of the pile.

Of course punishment would be an excellent deterent to speeding and
thusly improve highway safety. Just look at how good the punishment for
murder is doing in DC.

Care to try saying something a little more coherent than your usual
rantings? Like, perhaps, "duh?"

Later, loser. Have a great new year!

I guess in your world there are very few people who sell or buy illicit
drugs.

Why don't you make a New Year's resolution to stop posting your drivel
to usenet.

Well, penalties are severe for dealing drugs - life in prison is some places
like Michigan if I remember right - and people still do it anyway.
