Okay, I get their point about the artifically low speed limit but this was a stupid..

...stunt.

4 Emo kids drive their cars at the speed limit across all four lanes in moderately heavy traffic.

IIRC, the cops in some states used to use those "rolling roadblocks". I can't remember whether it was to actually slow the traffic down or as a kind of protest to the federally imposed 55 MPH limit (here's how bad traffic would be snarled if people really drove 55).

I feel dumber after watching that movie...What morons - - If I was in my winter beater behind them and seen them smiling and laughing I would plow right through them

They did that in Dallas. What another stupid stunt and a horrible waste of the police. One single cop car travelling in the center lane would have the same effect.

Good movie, imo.

I remember doing something similar with some friends at a local cruise.. we got honks, brights, profanities, fingers.. but then again we were all doing about 15mph down a 40mph road.

I think they have a legitimate issue that they raised- is 55 mp/h a law that reflects the needs of their roads there?

I've seen CT cops do the road block thing, but I've also cruised off the tail of a trooper doing about 92 mph in a 50 zone and everyone else was doing the same thing


If I was behind those kids, I'd be in the shoulder flying past...
