Default yaay for colorado drivers!!!!

ok so here's the scenario. i'm driving on 25 S. past the phil long exit towards circle drive. its about 430 or so, so the traffic is moderate, but slows down in places. and there is construction in that area, so concrete barriers on both sides of the highway. anway, so i'm driving and there is a big work van in front of me. im pretty sure this guy just owned it, bc there were chairs haning out and it was pretty crapped up. anway, so the guy driving this van does not deserve to be driving, not even compared to most colorado drivers (excluding you fine gentlemen, of course). there would be times when neither hand would be on the wheel, and he would be punching his passenger with his left hand for a good period of time. his van was coming really close to hitting the barrier on the left side and cars in the right lane. i decided to back off and give him a little room. i really didnt trust him. good thing i did. while he was busy hitting his buddy, the traffic came to a stop in front of him. whoops. so going 50 mph, he finally noticed, but WAY too late. he clips the left barriers, goes all the way across after jamming the brakes, clips the rigth barrier, then SLAMS into this little toyota in front of him. she has no trunk, but thats not all. she slams into the expedition in front of her. now the car is totalled. what a complete a$$ pipe this guy was. i saw a cop, so i stopped and gave them my story. but this guy was not so much a good driver. sorry..rant over

Default Yep,agreed... Try driving in this town for a day

at LEAST twice a day I have somebody almost hit me, run a light, cut me off, etc.... And not to mention, doing under the speed limit in the left lane, drivers up here and down there, wait, all over the state of Colorado are for the most part horrible.. And if it was not for my *perfect* driving record, I would have already been in numerous accidents.

Default Remember that Boulder is full of bark eating out of towners ;)

They should all get out of their cars and get back on their bikes...you would be much safer that way--

Default I also meant to add - CHP will be looking for such behaviors between FTC and Longmont on I25

special detail will focus on this strech. Agressive drivers will be their focus due to the high accident rate on that strech.
