Slow

Its been a bit of a while, but people have been behaving around me, what can I say?

Until today.

Snow upstate as of 7 AM. roads are slick. I understand safe driving is important, and people are scared of the snow, but if you feel compelled to go 5 miles an hour an a cleared street GET THE HECK OF THE ROAD!!!

You should not be in a vehicle if you are unable to propel it faster than you can walk. If you truly feel that you cannot control it at a higher crawl, then you should have stayed home, or have someone drive you. I was behind an ALL WHEEL DRIVE minivan doing five miles an hour!

And don't give me any self righteous comments how it is safer, and SUV's drive crazy and too fast, blah blah blah, I KNOW that! This is the flip side. There is a safe speed to proceed at, but someone who either constantly slams on their brakes ( from five miles an hour) or goes at five is just as dangerous. Drivers behind them get unduly antsy, and they start to do things they shouldn't or get distracted. A super slow driver is more of a menace than one going at the limit. The slow driver will cause more accidents by others either not anticipating the creeper, or frustrated drivers trying to get away from someone who should just park the car.

Or move to Florida, where they will fit in.

  1. just wanted to mention you might want to check your posts over for typos before you actually post.

    And yes I would agree that sometimes slow drivers can be a menace as well.

  2. Anon, care to explain? I spell checked it and there is no typo. If you are referring to the title, it is correct.
