South of Roscoe on 17 is that long downhill with an exit and the trooper barracks right there. It is like shooting fish in a barrel.
So many times have I seen those in the know slow down over that crest - piss off the poor drivers behind - who then pass on the right, speed up out of frustration and then get tagged. Oh what a crummy day!
