Is it just me or do people drive like maniacs in the Denver metro? Constant tailgating no matter what the speed limit or if there’s traffic or construction. I’m appalled by how dangerous some people here drive. Relax, getting there a few seconds faster isn’t worth anyone’s life. Aren’t y’all supposed to be too high to be driving like this anyway?

Are you one of those people who camp in the left hand lane no matter what? That's also very typical of CO drivers

This.

Yeah, and red lights are optional.

I am just learning this after 6 months here, shocked at how many folks run red lights here!

Doesn’t matter which lane, drivers are really aggressive here

It’s not aggressive driving, it’s distracted driving. The amount of people texting is alarming. As a bike commuter, I encourage everyone to put their phones down, whatever you think is urgent can likely wait.

Same, I bike commute and have so many close calls with people focused on their phones. Distracted drivers and giant SUVs with bad sight lines are a dangerous mix.

You must mean on 25/ 70. On my local neighborhood roads, I swear no one drives above 20.. and the speed limit is 30 😂

The driving here is just plain weird. It seems like on 25 no one knows to merge property, and in the suburbs, I have seen people bang u-turns when we are not in the left lane at a red light. I feel like it's a free for all and rules are optional

Its just you. People in Denver are terribly slow and unaware on the road. If speed limit is 60, you're lucky to go 55 in the left lane.

No worse than the Bay Area or DC Metro. Lead by example and don’t camp in the passing lane.
