Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 04:03:04 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — Express lane violations have always been the rule, but the fines went into effect a few months ago — and some drivers aren't following. According to the Colorado Department of Transportation, express lane violations have dropped 60% overall, but some continue to break the rules. One driver violated the rule 53 times. Is it legal to drive with snow on your car in Colorado? As for the 53-time violator, not all were “noticed” violations, according to CDOT. Some were warnings during the grace period, but it's still something CDOT is taking note of."We have people who like to jump in and out of the lanes whenever they please. The problem with that is there’s a huge speed differential between the two lanes, so typically the express lane moves considerably faster," CDOT spokesperson Tim Hoover said. Crossing those double white lines results in a $75 fine or $150 if it's not paid within 20 days. The 53-time rulebreaker's fines total $5,175.Interstate 70 in Idaho Springs wh...

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley was asked Wednesday by a New Hampshire voter about the reason for the Civil War, and she didn’t mention slavery in her response — leading the voter to say he was “astonished” by her omission. Asked during a town hall in Berlin, New Hampshire, what she believed had caused the war — the first shots of which were fired in her home state of South Carolina — Haley talked about the role of government, replying that it involved “the freedoms of what people could and couldn’t do.” She then turned the question back to the man who had asked it, who replied that he was not the one running for president and wished instead to know her answer.After Haley went into a lengthier explanation about the role of government, individual freedom and capitalism, the questioner seemed to admonish Haley, saying, “In the year 2023, it’s astonishing to me that you answer that question without mentioning the word slavery.”“What do you want...
