Ahhhh.... I remember when my brother and his buddies found on in their town...
It was about a 1/4 mile from a stop sign. They decided to see how fast they could get their cars up to, by reading the sign.
Every one of them (brother included) received speeding tickets in the mail - one for him, two for him, two for him.. no, three for him, as the third was delivered
with a summons.

My wife says the same to me.

Same here! I'm a
that learned to drive 'CT style' over the last several years. I go with the traffic in the fast lane, unless it gets congested.
In CT, you can only leave one car-length between you and the person in front of you. Anything more, and somebody else claims that space.
I've also learned that the written law states that you cannot stay driving in the left-most lane, but the practiced rule is for CT residents to get on the highway and go directly into the left lane
no matter how slow you drive (then again, most of the
I commute beside aren't any better).
