I move over for those people. On the mass pike cops will tailgate you and get you up to 90 mph, turn their lights on…you die inside and move over thinking you got set up to be arrested for reckless driving…they turn the lights off and speed down the left to do the same to someone else doing 80 mph. It happened to me lol. They do it to clear out cars not passing the cars to the right and to get the left lane moving to clear up congestion.

I’ve also seen a hidden (basically out of sight from the highway) mass state trooper suv go zero to 90 out of a vegetative deep steep ditch right next to the highway to pull the guy over in front of me for doing 92 even though the left lane was basically bumper to bumper and the slow lane was going 80 mph. I’m a fast driver,not saying that’s good, but I was hella comfortable on that stretch of the pike.

I just remember seeing the suv flying out of nowhere perpendicular to traffic, cutting across all lanes with their arm pointing out the window to the car in-front of me. It was near the end of the month. I was shocked because I was the only driver with ct plates among the cars around me, everyone had mass plates.

I still do not understand how the trooper pulled that off and didn’t disrupt traffic at all. I will say traffic did slow down to reasonable speeds and opened up after that. I’m sure everyone not pulled was thankful that didn’t get hit with that big ass ticket.

I will say if it’s one slow poke in front of you and there’s a row of cars behind you, the respectable thing to do is flick your high beams quickly twice. Most normal people will move over to the right and let you pass. If now you’re not going fast enough for the other cars behind you, you move over right.

If there is a few cars a head of you going slow, do the same thing, the driver in front of you will flick their lights to the person in front of them, the message travels to the slow poke, and ideally they move over.

Someone flicking there lights quickly twice should make anyone mad. Flick lights don’t tailgate.

What? What? What?

Take that back and that’s the bottom line!

Because someone is fiscally conservative their a pos?!?!?

I’m liberal but people like you are dangerous and not good for America. You’re going to have to learn to love and how to function with other Americans that have political positions you don’t agree with. If you don’t like that, move to Russia or something.

Reply to comment by Aaron351 in Is Joe Lieberman as well-liked as Chris Murphy? by Sir_FartyFartsalot_

I meant party flip flopper. He flip flopped a lot on policy and often would choose whatever made him look good or powerful. He spoke nonsense, advocated for nothing, and just liked to slow down any progress in congress so he’d be important. He didn’t care about the people he represented nor held true political beliefs. His only objective was to be elected, stay elected, supported whatever at the time made him look good or help him climb the political ladder. My father was a republican 20 years ago. Not a neo con; not a die hard republican - a centralist that voted for who ever he thought was the best at the time nor did he hold the same policy beliefs over time regardless of what was going on. He hated Lieberman for leaving the Republican Party because Lieberman only did it not because he’s views change but because he lost the primary. He went independent for the same reason latter on. He supported John McCain simply because he was friends with him and John was going to make him secretary of the state or something. He literally was gore’s vp and 8 years later is supporting the continuation of policies he campaigned against. He even attempted to run in 2004 as a democrat so clearly he did not like bush’s policies. McCain’s policies was a continuation of bush.
