http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/irregardless

usage Irregardless originated in dialectal American speech in the early 20th century. Its fairly widespread use in speech called it to the attention of usage commentators as early as 1927. The most frequently repeated remark about it is that “there is no such word.” There is such a word, however. It is still used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited prose. Its reputation has not risen over the years, and it is still a long way from general acceptance. Use regardless instead.

Considering the source, ya know?

DO watch this one.

I drive the speed limit. Everything else in that video is the EPITOME of every con that posts here!

I drive really slow in the ultra-fast lane,
While people behind me are going insane.

I go faster than anyone else and the highway is smoother on the left side.

If I do it…it’s not against the law (thanks to Tricky Dick “family Values” Nixon).

We know that fuel efficiency begins to diminish rapidly above 55 miles per hour.

Yes it does, if you are driving a +15 year old car.

I put rocks in your tank to make it appear to have more gas. :)

Speedometers are not all perfect. There can easily be a variation of up to 5mph between one vehicle and another.

If you have someone sitting on cruise control in the passing lane they might actually be going under the speed limit causing traffic to have to erradically try to pass them on the right.

There are many reasons someone might need to actually pass someone in the passing lane.

And all it takes is that one person who wants to cruise at the speed limit or just below it to block traffic, cause accidents, and prevent people from using that lane… to pass someone.

The Roger Ramjets are now going to feel like ALL lanes should be their personal raceway. This is incredibly foolish.

But he knows that would not be politically popular.

Thank you Republicans for the great lessons in FAMILY VALUES that you’ve been teaching us.

So, people break the law and it is the law that is to blame?

Hey, I can roll with that! Let’s expand on that concept!
It’s only stealing if it feels like I’m stealing.

We know that fuel efficiency begins to diminish rapidly above 55 miles per hour.

We are a nation made to pay a great price in blood and treasure in order to guarantee our supply of affordable fuel.

What part of the equation are YOU missing? Your personal indulgence of your inner NASCAR?

Well, it seems that for now, the law is going to indulge you.

At least at night, the inside lane should be open for all traffic in order to reduce deer/vehicle collision. I predict this law will cause them to increase.

What really gets me are the tailgaters in traffic when there is no place to go–do they really think that tailgating me is going to make the vehicles in front of me go faster?

nitwits. idiots.

It should be legal to turn around in your saddle and cap the SOB.

tailgaters should not be allowed to drive, own vehicles or, for that matter, live.

enforcement of existing laws on tailgating is desparately needed….

I have one solution to this sort of problem . . . but I won’t pass it on here, as I’m sure I’d be labeled a RWE.

Careful; you’re near RWE territory yourself!

;-)

A few days ago, I was taking Kellogg West to the West Waldo World, taking the Dugan exit. A white Cavalier was tailgating me to the point that I could not see him in my my sideview mirrors. An old 240Z coming off 235 slid in in front of me and I had to touch my brakes to avoid to avoid an up close and personal encounter with his rear bumper.

I think the guy in the Cavalier pooped his pants a little bit – he was rolling down his window when he drove by on Dugan.

Really…how often are there ‘packs’ of cars on the turnpike or I-70 outside of municipalities? Oh, the horror if someone has to take off their cruise control for 3 minutes because someone else is not going fast enough?

Give me a break….this is ridiculous..another nanny law to control the sheeple. News flash..government does not exist to cure every social ill possible!

We should have dart guns that shoot those suction cup darts. Whenever you see someone driving like an idiot, you shoot the car. If a cop sees a car with three or more darts, they pull him over and issue a ticket for Driving with Stupidity.

That is a nanny-state Republican Democratic/Obama administration suggestion if I ever heard one!

Fixed it for you.

That is a nanny-state Republican suggestion if I ever heard one!

In case you haven’t noticed, JR, that’s in many cases most people. If that is the case, the question to ask is whether in fact the speed limits are too slow?

Left to their own devices, most people will tell you by their own driving what is a safe and prudent speed; traffic engineers study just that in deciding what speed limits to set (and then usually set the legal speed a little below that, to allow for those who inevitably will push the limits).
