Who actually drives the speed limit?

Nov 24, 2005 8:30PM PST

I do the speed limit and let me tell you the people that fly around you!! If the speed limit is 55 mph, I put the cruise control on 55 and drive in the slow lane. OH ... MY ... GOSH!!! People get highly offended by someone ACTUALLY GOING THE SPEED LIMIT!!! I find myself looking in the rear view mirrow talking to them, ''I am in the slow lane people, get off my a**!''

Then there are those that think they are in the Indianapolis 500 and drive at 90-100 mph and there is no place for them to go because the fast lane is not fast enough. So they fly through the lanes in order to pass on everyone's right IN THE SLOW LANE. And God forbid anyone like me should be in it. I'd love to have a flip-up sign for my trunk that says ''Try leaving for work earlier next time!'' LOL


You know, what truly amazes me is... that there aren't MORE accidents on the road.
