My daughter once posed this question on her very funny blog after being late for work one morning by a poky driver in front of her. "It's called the Rush Hour... So Rush!"
My sentiments exactly.
And at the risk of angering the world of poky people I have a burning question that has puzzled me all my life
Why do some people get into the passing lane and then decide to poke along at 10 MPH Under the posted speed limit?!!!
And lest you think I am blindly pointing the finger at total strangers, one of the chief offenders in this is my own father !
His rational?
"No one needs to go faster than I'm driving."
What?!!!!!
I've asked him if he thinks he's the "Road Police" and he basically feels that Yes, he has determined the proper speed and will enforce it for other drivers ... for their own good.
Grrrrr!
I on the other hand come down on the side of free will.
So if I'm doing 90 in the passing lane and someone comes up behind me who wants to go a 100, I pull over and let him go by.
It is NOT my business to police the roads.
In other countries it's even considered to height of rudeness if you don't move over to let someone else pass.
So why can't we do it here?
Where do you come down on the side of this argument?
Are you a "fast lane" or "road police" .... And why?
Love to hear from you!
