Seems to me like there are only 2 types of drivers on the highways these days: The ones who go way over the speed limit, and the ones who get in the way of everyone else by going at their own leisurely rate. Both scare and annoy me. It’s rare that I get to even set the cruise control at 65 because I always seem to have the misfortune of getting behind someone going to slow. Then I change lanes and have to speed up because of people getting up to my bumper. Seems like it’s no-win.

Between Phoenix and SoCal, pretty much everybody drives 85. The speed limit is 75.

I got in back of a new VW Beetle going 40 mph on I-5 from Grants Pass to Medford!

The guy was a total traffic hazard, people were slamming on their brakes, zooming around him, it was really stupid and dangerous.

When I got around him I saw he was a goofy dreadlocked greenie who was proud of doing his bit to save Gaia.

In Oregon it’s illegal to go that slow, it represents a traffic hazard.

George Carlin had names for these sorts of drivers: For people driving slower than you, "Idiots!" For people driving faster than you, "Maniacs!"
