The "driving" question of the day
Michigan’s crumbling road system has drivers doing many things to save their vehicles from potentially hundreds of dollars worth of car repairs.
Alert drivers try to straddle pot holes or even swerve to avoid them, obviously a dangerous act depending upon the traffic volume.
When on our freeways and major highways, there appears to be more rugged roadway on the left lanes, probably because they are used more. The passing or fast lane is often in a little better, if not a lot better shape than its sister lanes.
This is creating an interesting legal question. To avoid the bone jarring and body shaking experience not really desired in a drive on the highway, many people are moving over to the fast lane.
They are driving the speed limit but you have to wonder, is it legal? Driving over the maximum speed limit certainly is asking for a ticket. But, if you hold up an impatient driver, can you get a ticket?
I have contemplated this question since my drive into work this morning. Don’t worry, I will do more. I’ll check with our local law enforcement officials and get back to you.
In the meantime, what do you think? Would you travel in a fast lane, at maximum posted speed, to save your car some damage but risk the wrath of a speeding driver?

I would drive in the fast lane ifthere wasn't any other choice. We were on Baldwin driving to I75 when we hit a pot hole at the posted speed. It blew my front right tire and we pulled into the Shell Station. There were 3 cars already there who had the same problem. cars were hitting that same pot hole.We called the state and they said that they would reimburse us.It never happened.
Governor Synder,You promised many things that you can't possibly keep.you talked about union wages and how they should be lowered.Never once did you mention what the adminastration wages were.And you call this equal sacrifise?Teachers used to have control of chilren.Not any more.If they try to correct a child they are accused of picking on said child.When there is no control at home how do you expect a teacher to control a child? It's easy to blame the teacher for your child not learning.Respect for others is a parents job.Learning is your child's job and that is the most important job your child has.As a parent what could be more important then that?
