I believe the ISP just got a grant to enforce the seat belt law? Reckless, aggravated, and road rage infested drives be aware! BUCKLE UP!

I spend a lot of time on these roads. Most drivers are skilled with the vehicle but some clearly are not. A few should not be allowed on the freeway until their basic vehicle skills are greatly improved. In general, by all drivers, there is not enough focus on the road… not enough focus on driving strategy… not enough focus on sharing the road efficiently and courteously.

There are vehicles in disrepair going 80 that look to be unsafe at over 35. Commonly RV/horse/atv/boat trailers are loaded incorrectly and towed too fast by too small of towing vehicle (ISP could do outreach on this).

Most drivers are aware to keep to the right unless promptly passing. However, way too many lane block the left lane for several minutes. A few stay in the left as if it’s just for them. Speed limit is 80 but 90 is commonplace. Even if properly passing a slower vehicle in a timely manner there is always the jackass who will speed up to ride the rear bumper. Too many drivers who are clearly more important than others and create danger with their anger…ISP where are you!

Lastly and much to my disgust, the truck drivers are overall not as skilled or courteous as once upon a time… Happily the truck safety technology is much improved.

Suggestions to ISP on changing tactics to:
1) Educate on proper road educate with outreach… start young in high school.
2) Enforce to educate on the road.
3) Heavy hardcore enforcement to the jackasses who create danger.

What astounds me is that the Idaho citizen didn’t return highly accurate and overwhelming firepower.

Reminds me of one of the few attempted drive by shootings up north some decades ago… punks from Spokane drove to CDA, sprayed a house with 9mm, then a neighbor stepped out with a 30-06 and ended the problem.
