Default Re: 55 MPH National Speed Limit

Tsk tsk, Bobby bobby bobby. Someone is going to die because of your illegal behavior one of these days and it'll probably be you. Oh, I'm not saying going slow is bad, but your blatant disregard for courtesy goes against the flow of traffic. Most of us have sense enough to know that intentionally driving slow in a left or middle lane is an act contrary to the flow of traffic. (This is why cops don't have a field day EVERY day on Hefner parkway) As such, you're creating an obstruction in the roadway. Is it illegal that everyones doing 40mph in a 40mph left hand lane and you're doing 25? No. It is wrong though. And rude. If you have to make a left turn soon, cool. Speed up (or slow down) to the flow of traffic and get ready to hop into that turn lane. Work WITH your community. Not against it. Really think...is saving that extra $5 in gas every other week worth all the people on the roads flipping you off, screaming at you, cutting you off. Remember for every one you SEE doing that there are 20 out there that had the self control not too...but felt just as aggrivated. How does it feel to bring that much discord to your community? I guarantee when they see your hooptie on the side of the road, they're gonna remember you, and well...lets just hope you've got roadside assistance because we're all going to be hard pressed to help you out of a jam.

Going slow isn't whats going to kill. Lack of common sense is.

I love it when my fingers turn into bananas and my steering wheel turns into a rodent.

I wouldn't say slim to none! I'll stop someone in a heartbeat for violations along those lines. It is just as dangerous as speeding.

Carter's Windfall Profits Tax attributed to or directly caused the fuel shortage. Now Carter version 2.0 (Obama) and the democrats want to do the same thing with probably the same exact results. Oh yea, I agree, ultra slow drivers are a real danger! Yes, sometimes I watch Foxnews and listen to Rush on occasion, but that does not affect this historical fact.
