First, I am a Yankee transplant from NJ and I love it here in NC. I am not one of those Yankees that came down here wanting things to change because "That's the way we did it up North" but with that being said....the fact that there is nothing done about people driving slow in the left lane has always been maddening to me!!!

A new bill making its way through the North Carolina Senate would encourage those slow drivers to speed up, or move over.

 

The bill, sponsored by Senator Jeff Tarte, would fine drivers $200 for driving under the speed limit in the left hand lane.

I almost never see people go under the speed limit in the left lane. 

 

There are, however, people who only go 5 mph over in the left lane, but I don't think the cops are going to be pulling them over anytime soon.

I just hope that if they pass it, they also enforce it if for no other reason than to get public awareness of it. Also, put up some signs that say "Slower Traffic Keep Right".

 

Maybe then I won't have to pass people on the right and then immediately cut them off as I dart back into the left lane 6 inches from their front bumper as much.

That means that you are one of them and just don't realize it.  :)

 

 

I drive route 49 from Mt. Pleasant into Charlotte each day and it is a daily occurrence.

      2025 Schedule Release - post 'em when you find 'em

      So dumb I get it, they want to expand the reach of the NFL, but it's not the right sport to be playing games halfway around the world for a variety of reasons.   But one of the main ones is what happens if a player has an injury in that game? A lot of times, you're not supposed to fly right after some injuries, so when they happen here it's not a big deal, the player stays in that town for a few days and then flys home separately.  But that opens a whole bag of worms if the game is played all the way out in Australia. Plus just needing that long of a flight to get out there and back, even if they get a bye week after, it means a ton of travel and needing to adjust to a new time zone directly after another game.

      I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
