I have noticed a trend for a few years and this year it has gotten worse. So many A holes can't be happy taking a turn a 35 have to go 40 so they reduce the apex of the turn so their is less g force on them. They dont' care if the cross over the line in a turn and risk the lives of others and the cops don't do anything about this.

And how many seconds did they save?

Unfortunately they want to drive faster then they can or their vehicles can handle or both.

Years ago while riding my sprint sx350,a couple of good ol boys ran me off the road into the guard rails on purpose-laughing all the way. Guess they just didn't like hippies. Lane position wouldn't have helped.

Thats attempted manslaughter if there is such a thing. Those are the kind of people you want to throw the book at. Too bad (assuming) they got away.
