So what's wrong with passing twenty cars at a time?

Here's a headline that makes you scratch your head.

No less an authority than a politician has chimed in to say they've seen folks pass up to 20 cars at a time on the highway between Edmonton and Fort MacMurray.

So what?

In all probability there were 19 cars bunched up behind some dorkshit who was doing 10 under the limit.

Why those 19 don't pass the dorkshit I'm not sure.

Why the dorkshit isn't arrested and waterboarded I'm not sure either.

They should be.

But it's perfectly understandable that eventually somebody at the tail end of that parade who just wants to get where they're going is gonna pull out and pass the entire caravan.

You'll notice that the politicians have been talking about twinning that highway since 2006. I used to live in Alberta and I can assure you that the topic of twinning that highway has been on the agenda for a lot longer than that.

So if you are serious about saving lives on that road, dear politicians, stop talking about it, stop studying it, and just twin the friggin' highway already!
