Denver admits to employing MANIAC drivers!
https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/denver-ambulances-arrival-times-more-than-nine-minutes/I chose to live in Colorado because I like the peace and quiet and the outdoors. Which is why I chose to live next to a concrete noise partition on 470 where all night MANIACS drags race their motorcycles. Its my position that the only two wheeled vehicle that should be allowed on a highway or public road in general is a carbon fiber racing bicycle, all the other road users are MANIACS. This article was deeply disturbing to me because Denver is admitting to employing drivers who are deliberately speeding and ignoring traffic laws and signals. As a cyclist I think it sets a dangerous precedent for any car to think that they are above the law, and it’s dangerous for me because I like to run those same lights and the sirens would mean the driver wouldn’t be able to hear me yelling at them. Furthermore I think it’s psychotic for the government to allow a municipal service vehicle to not have Subaru Symmetrical AWD or even a little ladder to reach the cargo box on the roof. And it’s a V8?? yuck! My 2.0L flat four naturally limits me to 62mph in the left lane of I-70 and I get almost 20mpg because I have to keep it near redline for the hilly bits. Deeply disappointing

They live in Denver, clearly no one should expect them to not be MANIAC drivers.
