 Alert | | Is the extra wear worth a 3 minute faster drive home? Honestly, you have a perfectly smooth lane to the right, yet you drive in the torn up lane. This makes no sense to me. | | | |

Alert | Yes. I get tired of people who:
- Hit the brakes randomly
- Slam on the brakes
- Brake when coasting would work
- Yo-yo between speeds
- Ride the brakes
- Keep unnecessarily large gaps, usually while doing one or more of the above
- Go below the speed limit (considering the speed limit is too low already)
- Block other people in
- Slow down every time they come up on a car and then take off when they get past
Among other things, these are the most irritating. | |

Alert | | All of that happens in the milled lane too so why the extra wear on your car? If its gonna happen anyway, you might as well have it happen in a smooth lane. I just think its funny. A car is an investment and its not often that its cheap to fix, so why not take care of it and drive on good roads when the opportunity arises? | | | |

Alert | | A car is not a small child, you don't have to treat it like a baby. Unless of course the car you drive is a real pile. | | | |

Alert | | With one milled and one paved lane, it happens less often in the milled lane, so I'll put up with not driving behind a line of people that don't know how to use cruise control. | |

Alert | It would make more sense to drive your POS car in the milled lane don't you think? Who wants to spend $60,000 for a Mercedes just to jack it up in the Milled lane? If you have a POS pile car, you probably don't give a crap and would drive it in the milled lane.
I agree though, why did they Mill both lanes? Mill the road as you pave it, don't let it sit there for months until you get your way there. ADOT is run by monkeys. | | | |

Alert | Ok, So I admit it...I drive in the milled lane too!
OMG! I KNOW! Why do I do this? I have no patience when driving...I think that's the whole thing in a nutshell.
20 cars in front of me that are going 55 (ya, whatever don't start on the speeds with me)in the smooth lane and that will totally make me move over to the milled lane to speed up and pass you all!
Don't care if it only gets me there 3 minutes before you all. Only care that no one is now in front of me inhibiting me to go whatever speed I want. I am not a Dr., therefore I do not have to have patience.... | |

Alert | | Yup, use the milled surface to pass up slower cars. I don't really mind and am not worried about a little extra wear on the car. Parts are going to wear out anyway. As long as the engine doesn't vibrate itself out of the bottom of the car I'm ok. | | | |

Alert | | Why do you care if I drive in that lane? | |
Liberalism and capitalism address themselves to the cool, well-balanced mind. They proceed by strict logic, eliminating any appeal to the emotions. Socialism, on the contrary, works on the emotions, tries to violate logical considerations by rousing a sense of personal interest and to stifle the voice of reason by awakening primitive instincts.
