I think I will do the limit in construction zones from now on. I have my middle finger ready in case the guy behind me gets impatient.

As a general rule I’m not for speed cameras. Construction zones are the exception though.
Anything that can be done to regulate speed in those zones needs to be considered and tried.

Unfortunately too few people actually see the results of unsafe driving.
The news cameras don’t show the blood and gore they only show a wrecked car and a cop giving a lecture on safe driving.
If the news shows were allowed to show the mangled bodies and blood soaked cars it might make an impression on the public.
Death is so foreign and clean to most people that safety is not a concern.

When drivers blow by me in construction zones I just smile and let them go.
If you are holding up traffic by driving the speed limit you may be saving someone’s life. You never know.
