School buses doing 45mph in a 65mph

I think an empty bus should at least go the speed limit on a highway. Especially during rush hour.

I would prefer they stay off the highway instead, but if there is no other choice, then I agree.

But I think it would require buying buses that could go 65 for a sustained period. And I am not sure I am ok with giving school bus drivers a bus that can go 65 mph because some of them would in areas that they shouldn't be going that fast.

Best to just have them avoid interstates unless there is no choice. But I don't think the legislature will ever agree to make that a hard and fast rule.

Hey, enjoy the scenery. And chill out. ;)

Just kidding, I usually stay around 5-10 mph over the speed limit on Interstates.

Drivers should try to maintain a speed close to that of the traffic around them. Going significantly slower, or significantly faster than most of the traffic around you is always dangerous.

yeah I always stay 5 over.. that IS the speed limit.. (love someone to tell me they ever got pulled going 5 over) but I do stay under 10, only reason being the last thing I need is a ticket..

and you are right on point.. going below the speed limit is just as dangerous..

This is really an issue. They slow 485 traffic down so much, and the biggest issue is when they are getting ON 485. People around here don't even understand interstates anyway (you don't slow down till you get ONTO the offramp, and you shouldn't need to use brakes that often on the interstate) so it makes it worse. The buses are usually empty like you guys have said, but I have also seen a bus get onto 485 just to go from the Johnston Rd. exit to the Rae Rd exit. In that short time, almost causing accidents and delaying traffic. It's just not worth it.

And I honestly believe slow traffic is MUCH more dangerous than someone going 5-10 over (obviously if someone is going 100 it's dangerous).

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      By RIPTreyLance · Posted

      Do you see the vision?  As of now our Carolina Panthers don’t have an identity. We are not an offensive powerhouse and on defense we only started getting it together towards the end of the year last year. In my opinion we are much closer to having an incredible defense that scares the daylights out of people. I say the answer is simple and we fully commit to that possible identity.    Emmanuel McNeil Warren (E man)  This guy is like a shark lurking around ready to attack anyone. Fearless. He is easily a top 20 talent in my eyes, and the only reason he isn’t more talked about is because he’s from Toledo. Do your due diligence as panther fans and watch his tape I beg you. Once you’re done watching let me ask you this, if you dropped E - Man into the strong safety spot on the Buckeyes, he isn’t being talked about as one of the best prospects we’ve seen in some time given the skill set you see with this guy? I think so. Put his name on the card and turn it in at 19.    Jacob Rodriguez  High effort, High energy, High IQ guy that flies around the field. We all know Jacob at this point. My only concern is he’s a little bit too good and I’m not sure he makes it to us at our pick in the second. With the additions of Jacob and E- Man I think our defense goes to top 5 in the league. We would have a duo of linebackers that rival anything we’ve had in our past. I’m not a GM so I don’t know what the possible answer could be, but if there’s a way we can comfortably trade up in the second to secure this guy I think we find a way to do it.    Spend the rest of our picks fixing the O - line.    Thoughts Panthers fans? Who’s the ideal duo for yall?

      OL is arguably much more important to the success of a young QB. (Or any QB)

      Didn’t get around to watching this one but looks like Pistons played their starters and actually tried…? Unlucky that they sit vs Magic, etc and try vs us. Hopefully we can beat the Heat and then Magic or 6ers with no Embiid. BUT if not, the NBA really should give us the lottery win this year like they did Mavs last year. Another high pick could be our final missing piece and have us as legit top contenders next year and going forward if we’re healthy. Or trade it for a Giannis type
