At what point does congestion - all traffic moving at roughly the same speed - legally allow 'undertaking' in lane 1? From what I've seen on movies and the TV, that seems normal in the US, but it goes against the culture in the UK. |

Yeah in the US, the shoulders are not used(at least in CA) for traffic, the outer shoulder is reserved for emergencies and the inner shoulder(if it exists at all in any significant amount) is not to be used for anything cause of the danger of being hit there, in CA one can be ticketed for pulling over in the inner shoulder(also known as the center divider). But that's the great oily parking lot. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

Not the brightest bulb in the box... Florida woman Periscopes (live video streaming) while drunk driving LAKELAND, FL - Lakeland police believe a local woman is lucky to be alive today after going on a drunk driving trip she recorded and broadcast live on her own phone. On Saturday, LPD took in 911 calls about a possible drunk driver using the social media App Periscope to broadcast herself. |

In what turned out to be a rather minor incident, Amtrak 6 AMTK 16 hit a lowboy semi at Somonauk, IL on Tuesday. One guy who went out to take pictures has set some of them to video with the downloaded audio from the Northern Illinois Railroad feed. https://youtu.be/ZJQ3gqUqFCE BNSF came out and cut parts off of 16, and it continued to Chicago, even later than it already was. 16 will have to go to Beech Grove for some cosmetic surgery. I heard there was one minor injury. David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. |
