Re: Tip for driving in the mountains...
[ QUOTE ]
In Illinois, it is now illegal to drive in the left lanes when not passing. This is the only positive development in the state's government the last decade. Unfortunately, I have yet to see much enforcement [/ QUOTE ] We got this in Colorado recently, too. I've seen it enforced 3 times. It's not helping much on the way up I-70 into the Mountains, though, since the cops are always gorging themselves on speeders going down the hill towards Denver. These [censored] are my #1 driving pet peeve. Quit cruising in the left lane and either pass someone or get the [censored] out of the left lane, [censored]!

Re: Tip for driving in the mountains...
my friends and i had an interesting observation about Colorado motorvehicles from our trip last week to Breckenridge/Vail:
It seems as though there were scores of vehicles going 80+ through the mountains, but couldn't go the speed limit back at flatland--kind of odd

Re: Tip for driving in the mountains...
#5 If you are doing the speed limit, don't pull over. Road debris/ soft shoulders can put you in peril.
#6 Do not let your brakes overheat. Don't ride your brakes hard, you lower gear on downgrade. #7 Check your brakes ahead of time, know if there is a emergency pull off ahead. #8 Pack a blanket in your car, not your trunk.
