I drove a couple hundred miles yesterday. Most of the trip, the needle hovered around 75. This was how the traffic was flowing. About once a mile, I would be overtaken by someone driving about 90, or come across someone driving about 45. Talk about delta V. SO watched my six, kept a good look out for morons. No surprise to anyone that ALL the fuckedup drivers were out of state, and no surprise that they were mostly bluehairs, but there were a few surprises:<\/p>\n
Most of the ones going 45 were obviously teenagers going back to school. <\/p>\n
Most of the high speed morons were older, some in some pretty fancy cars (bmw M5, Lexus, Porsche Cayenne) and while they could drive fast, they seemed incapable of accelerating- I got behind one at a rest stop, and it took him a full minute to get up to 60. As soon as I could I passed him, and in five minutes he was passing me going 90 again. And five minutes later, he was having a conversation with a nice policeman. <\/p>\n
Oh, and as I know this strip of road is heavily patrolled, I decided not to get too carried away with speed; I didn’t see a single squad. I saw bike cops, and a LOT of them. Guess the boys (and girls) in blue wanted to get some two wheel time in before the weather turned. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
