According to an article on CNN.com, in several states you can be pulled over for driving too slow. I think this should be a required law for EVERY state. I don't know about you, but I know one of my biggest pet peeves is when the person in front of me is going way under the speed limit. Granted, most of the time this seems to happen the person seems to be on their cell phone not paying attention, but it happens more often than it should.
Close to my parents house there is a pretty sharp curve that is marked on the road. This curved is marked with reflected pillars and flashing speed limit signs that say 30 mph. If there is a flashing sign that says 30 mph, do you think that means the original speed limit was 25 mph or under? Are the flashing lights there telling you to speed up when you get to the sharp curve? NO! The sign is telling you to slow down, meaning you should have been going faster than 25 mph to begin with. The worst is when this one person is going 10 mph under the speed limit, so the huge train of cars behind them has to go even slower.
Please, for all of our sakes, go the speed limit. Those signs are there for a reason.

I understand the frustration with someone that goes under the speed limit and have been personally frustrated with it myself. But there are times I often feel that everyone is in such a rush in today's society that it is actually ok to slow down and go the speed limit (Note: Not promoting under speed limit driving unless the road conditions prevent it).
ReplyDeleteOh I completely agree. I feel like everyone is in such a hurry all the time and I know I've been guilty of that as well. I just get frustrated when the speed limit is 35 and the person in front of me is going 20.
