  • What's with the horrible back and forth bullshit at the end of the video? Why would anybody think that's a good idea? Just show the footage.

  • What happened here is a demonstration of the fraud behind the speed limit laws. People won't drive any faster then they can safe operate their vehicle. Yet when a wall was made by cars driving abreast of each other obeying the speed limit, an artificial traffic jam resulted. This is more dangerous than driving fast with the flow of traffic, but if there was no speed limits in place - then how can the police fund itself? It funds itself by criminalizing normal human behavior -Imposing fines.

  • Lol awsome

  • May next time they will give you a ticket for driving in the left lane while not passing.

  • To be honest. That's one of the most annoying things ever when you have a whole line of Korean cars that won't get out of the left lane! (Hyundais are the worst)

  • @piecharthosen

    No SLOWER than other traffic.. fuck man learn how to drive.

    The left lane is a passing lane. If the rules were you only have to leave that lane when you are going slower than the limit it wouldn't be a passing lane anymore.

  • @squallz13 slower than speed limit doofus

    this is perfectly hilarious

  • If they tried that out here in Phoenix, at least one person would get rear-ended by a Hummer and one or more others would get shot at by tweakers and/or illegals. People out here are freakin' INSANE when it comes to the speed limit. It's 65 MPH or more on most highways, and even if you're doing 5 MPH over, people act like you're practically standing still.

    Moral of the story: PEOPLE SUCK.

  • I think speed limits should be modified for each lane. 55 is fine for the far right, maybe 60 for the next 65 in the middle 70 in the next and 70+ for the far left. With all of the IDIOTS on the road (that means you) it would never work, but you don't have a better idea....Oh and when I want you opinion I will give it to you. PS kudos to the GSU kids for thinking of this, like it or not you still watched the video so they accomplished what they wanted.

  • It's not public obedience, it's being a complete and total asshole.

  • real life trolls, good job nerds

  • @Tounushi

    "Don't these people get it that those regs are there for a reason?"

    You're a jackass.
