Sheriff to Interstate Drivers: Slow Down

I drive through this area every day. The speed limit could be lowered to 20MPH and the problem would still exist....drivers entering from the Highlands going Westbound do not yield to traffic. Any time a vehicle is entering a highway they must yield to traffic already on the highway and that means sometimes they may have to stop. If they was really concerned about safety in that area they would be ticketing the drivers who come off the ramp without any regard of traffic.

How about ticketing the idiots who are in too big of a hurry to fall in behind the slow trucks and exit from the right lane at exit ten eastbound. You know, the ones running 70MPH in the fast lane and darting across all lanes of traffic, cutting of two tractor trailers. Those are the dangerous ones.

I still maintain-- City police- on city streets. Sheriff patrols--county&country roads. State police- on intrastates. Seems like everyone wants a piece of the driver and his money. Safety-- good for talk only.

idliketoknow....in this world of uncertainty, there is one absolute consistency...no matter where you are driving in the world, there will be a vehicle with Ohio plates in the passing lane going around 47 mph.

Motorists speed through that area because there are never any police on that stretch of interstate. They are too busy pulling people over in front of Wheeling Hospital for going 60 in a 55. Let's be honest, who is more of a risk to public safety: the 75 motorists going 80 or the 3 Ohioans going 60 in the passing lane?

Funny, I haven’t ever and I mean NEVER ever heard anyone say, speak about, imply, or even refer to Pat Butler having any patience on any subject Personal or Professional, Public or Private granted he’s not equal to Jake Padlow but would make a reliable 2nd (both being fun to watch with Padlow having a shorter time of individual cellphone life(brand-new to maliciously destroyed, broken)); I’d go as far as to say more of a loose cannon where someone close has to be thrown under a bus to mask some of his previous snap decisions and un-researched actions. The Sherriff should read his vehicles owner’s manual for the late model Ford Bronco that he drives on the Nations Interstates, It was not designed as an Interstate Travel Vehicle more of a secondary road or utility vehicle., Stay on 40 if you want to travel at secondary road speeds; or buy a new personal vehicle not prone to rollover at speeds above 50mph.

@Robert: too yield is to allow stopping, there is no stopping on Interstate Ramp
