What about all the people driving with their high beams on?
What about them whiner
And those who drive at dusk with no lights.
@@larryd130 welcome to colorado, if you are from california we try to be a little more considerate to our fellow drivers here.
Some people with new cars have bright lights.
@47colton lol sure
Can we take pictures of the cops on their phone 😂
I was actually going to say that 😂
Only if you do it hands-free! :)
@@JeffC-fq1be It'll have to be a passenger doing the photography.
The buster buster buster buster
The law excludes commercial and public workers.
You have to enforce laws in order for them to be effective. Looking at you Aurora
Seriously though. Oh we will let a couple teenage new gangsters tell us they own property. We won’t try to take it back.
That’s probably their level 1 gangsters. Imagine the ogs or the shot callers. What damage they could do.
Go to California full on swat team that day. Aurora eh eventually we will maybe we don’t know what to do. Denver and us didn’t think ahead about these things.
We the people didnt t vote for this
Laws attempting to make people more responsible, don't they know how entitled people are?
What if i need to use my phone for gps ??? Smh this new law gonna cause more problems 😂😂😂
I think road rage and brain dead drivers are a bigger issue in my opinion
True
The new prohibition of weaving in and out of the car pool lane is dumb. Why should you be stuck in a slow moving carpool lane when the next lane over is moving?? Even California has discovered that allowing cars to enter and exit the car pool lane any time makes sense.
They need to enforce the laws already in place
How about just enforcing all traffic laws?
What about police, dose that law include police not using phone and computer while driving? Lots accidents by police using their computer and phones as well..
They are exempt
I thought hands free cell phone is a national law. Colorado is a little late to the game..
Yeah I'm sure they're gonna pay attention to every driver on their phones. Most people have dark tint on their windows. They need to focus on people with their brights on, blinding people that's the real issue. And I haven't seen any cops deal with speeding lately
About a few months ago, A lady sped up in front of me and a fellow trucker while merging into the highway, then she proceeded to swerve in and out of the express lane to get ahead of traffic all while having her child in the back seat. Here in Colorado, it’s straight up recklessness and stupidity from these drivers.
First we need police on the road. I drive all day and never see a police car. People are driving so unsafe because there is no repercussions. Expired tags, no turn signals, running red lights, cutting in and out of lanes, following to closely, changing lanes intersections, blocking intersections, running stop signs. They need to make licenses so expensive that people will not be willing to drive so carelessly. Money is what matters to people hit em their pocket books they might drive more careful.
Meanwhile if you're from Venezuela you can drive with no license, no insurance, and no registration. If you're American though you better not touch your cell phone. Good job Colorado, stopping the real criminals.
These laws weee already on the books.
The leaders want to seem important... Hey look at us!!! 🥴
Well that way you can get two laws against you
lol here laws are suggestions. Be nice if they had the brains and the brawns to actually take care of these things.
It’s like we have SNL writers making up great sketches but the comedians forget to show up and do their skit. 😂 👮 🚔🚨🚓
🎶🎵Whoop Woop that’s the sound of the police🎵🎶 😂 😅
This government is pathetic
Apparently to you the private health insurance industry is FAR more efficient. 😂
@ no both suck and don’t deserve to be around , the people would be better off without both intruding on our lives.
@@charlieschumaker2459 Think it through…. Without a properly functioning government (we’re talking about government agencies and not politicians) you have no choice but to live in anarchy which basically returns humanity to hunter-gatherer state where Braun= right. Don’t like living in a cartel no-go zone? That’s exactly what you are asking for and the history of primitive humanity is rife with factional war, bloodshed and genocide that pales in comparison to any other form of human society.
There aren’t enough patrol cars out there to enforce the new laws. Focus on enforcing existing speeding, reckless and careless drivers rather than creating new laws without enough law enforcement on patrol.
When they start enforcing expired temp tags, I'll start taking this seriously
i see about 1 cop per week these days
And let the expired tags and missing plates go "unnoticed" . This is ridiculous. Just another way to get money.
How about driving a stick shift while eating Chinese food with chopsticks?
Ticket for holding your phone and possible points on your DL but swerve in and out of lanes and its just a fine?
Never mind the people not passing in the passing lane!!!!
Already a law to keep right.
@mvpfocus Which will never be enforced. The reason there is reckless weaving & passing on the right is due to the idiots who sit in the passing lane backing traffic up for MILES. #coloradocantdrive
frankly, we would like to see more highway patrol presence on I 25 from Pueblo all the way up to Denver most people do 95 and 100 and more sometimes it's out of hand people tailgating trying to pass. It's ridiculous. The tailgating is just really obnoxious people doing 85 and tailgating.
I want more patrol from Monument to Lincoln on I-25. Through Castle Rock there are speeders, racers, semis in the wrong lanes and a lot of cars with no license plates.
get out of the fast lane if your getting tailgated
@@paulvilla6084
I don't think people should tailgate but honestly, don't be driving right next to the other slow person and block both lanes of traffic. Just move to their lane if you're going the same speed.
@ well how about if both lanes are packed Mr.? Do you think that we are all in the second grade that comment? What if you can't get in to the other lane? Surely you could be more knowledgeable and helpful than that comment you made.
@@paulvilla6084 typical half ass comment from somebody that has no content on RUclips you must be somebody that got kicked off Facebook and have no other place to correct people
I’m not mad at the laws. I’ve almost got run off the road some moron almost pit maneuvered my car etc on 25. All because some dumbass moron was on their phone. I literally see them and saw them when they almost killed me on the freeway. This is the one thing when they passed it in LA I was happy about and the fines were much stiffer but it cut down on accidents statistically. Now living back in CO I’m glad they passed this. I wish the fines was 250 like in CA tho. It’s probably the one of the few laws I’m glad they passed in CO and CA.
It baffles me y'all are just Now getting this law. Iowa's HAD this law over 10 years.
wont do a darn thing to change habits!
How were these not already a thing...? Ffs
Are they gonna enforce the law though? Just like they DONT enforce the left lane passing law.
@@paulvilla6084 Highway 36 anyone? Try going 5 or 10 under in the right lane and watch how many people refuse to switch lanes & pass LOL.
Does it matter?! I mean safety is important. However they don’t enforce car tags. Or license plates. We have tons of people with tags expired 3-4 + years ago. Then the almost 200k migrants. Not all have licenses or even license plates. But no one cares.
They said that motorcycles couldn’t cut cars off and make their own lanes. This also isn’t enforced.
We also were told not to text and drive. But I’m pretty sure it’s standard out here to watch RUclips or TikTok while driving and in traffic.
And I know you’re supposed to use your blinkers for turning even switching lanes, as a warning. But here they cut you off and if you use your blinkers you get honked at for several minutes as they rush past. Despite looking and not even merging until clear.
Also I’m fairly certain most speed limits are suggestion out here.
So I mean it’s great that they identified a problem. Not sure they will bother to take care of it.
Unfortunately look at how some migrant gangsters can take over an apartment and not only the apartment management company but police officers can’t do anything to fix.
Take notes from the big boys like California or New York. Take care of the citizens for once and consistently maybe.
Welcome to CALorado
All politicians do is make more restrictive laws we need less laws and less politicians
We wouldn’t need extensive laws like you give mischievous toddlers if y’all acted like responsible adults.
I watched a guy do 45 mph over a 30 mph bridge at night no lights on goes bye two cops bullshiting jumps on the interstate they didn't even bat an eye pathetic
People won't obey 😅😂
There is very little traffic enforcement that I have seen. On another note, the hands-free stuff with the phone is nonsense. It's no safer.
Using two hands on the wheel versus one? Anyone?
@@mvpfocus I'll school you. "Think you are safe if you are not holding your phone while driving but are having a hands-free conversation? Safety experts call it the hands-free myth. A recent National Safety Council (NSC) poll shows that 80% of U.S. drivers believe hands-free cell phones are safer than using handheld. However, over 30 scientific studies have shown that there is no safety benefit conferred by going hands-free." You're welcome.
@@JeffC-fq1be You're arguing a moot point. I'm well aware that talking on the phone is a distraction either way. But you tried to gloss over the issue of using one hand on the wheel versus two... which is obviously a far less safe way to operate a vehicle under the law. Nice try, though.
@@mvpfocus LOL!
What about Aurora 😅 nobody gonna do anything about that first before cracking down on other things
No they don’t like planning or executing. Lol It’s sorta like how we have over 500,000 (and growing with rent price fixing) people. Either rent burdened or facing housing insecurity. Homeless or otherwise. Yet they were like yeah we don’t have enough to go around.
But I know what would be a great idea. We ignore our half a million depending on us for our not even enough to go around resources. They go on the back burner. Let’s take on almost 200,000 migrants. We won’t screen them, make sure they are safe. Just assume the people willing to come here fraudulently will probably be 100% honest, not commit any sort of welfare fraud or anything else and additionally not commit more crimes.
Idk take notes from successive people. California wouldn’t let a small time gangster hand their a** on a plater and overtake a building.
Canada I’m fairly certain screens and has a rigorous screening process to even attempt to be considered to work towards living their.
Here it’s like whatever. 😅
2025 anyone?
About time
it's about time these young clowns running around playing video games on their phone while they're driving and talking is just out of hand. Well they're not really playing video games, but they've got their phone up in front of their face on the freeway without a care in the world.
In Oregon it's a $999.00 fine.
😮😮😮
so that means we cant use GPS!? that will go over well LOL
Use a phone holder or upgrade your car's radio for Carplay/Android Auto.
You Colorado folks and your excuses
Learn to use a map rather than letting your brain rot from not using it. of course you could be stoned which does make thinking difficult.
You set the GPS before you drive. You can also talk to your phone, you know.
@jimcroft3633 do you really, honestly, genuinely believe that navigating with a paper map while DRIVING is safer than a phone?
Dumb they should be ticketing for speeding. Especially on the side streets where people are going 20 clicks over the limit
Yall realize this is about crossing the double white lines that separate the normal lanes from the express lanes. Going in and out of the express in area that have a double white line. Aka weaving.
First of all we already pay the express lanes tolls we should not pay except C470. The highways became wider because the city grew so fast with all these Californians who moved here to legalize weed and put this non sense men who is just hiding with his male wife instead of fixing the real problems of homelessness and Venezuelan gangs who drive with no insurance, license plates, not even license, but wants the residents to be paying outrageous fines for weaving to take express lanes we still pay to save time during crazy rush hours, but the Venezuelans get away with everything they do. He is basically encouraging everyone to drive without license plates or fake expired to tags to not be punished. He should be imposing fines on people who text, eat, drink, even women who put their make up on as they drive, but the express lanes is absolutely ridiculous. If he wants more taxes to be supporting the Venezuelan and gay rights he should be doubling or tripling taxes on Cannabis dispensaries. An absolute and terrible crook.
