Driving that slow on the highway is pretty crazy though, even at 6am on a Sunday. At one point, some idiot tailgated me and was flashing his lights, even though he had five lanes to choose from! Sheesh buddy!
I knoooow, right?
Makes me want to slam on my brakes to see if the idiot will actually rearend my bumper. I sometimes wish I was a cop and that I could pull over these people that ride my bumper while I am traveling the speed limit. Even when I'm in the far left lane traveling above the legal limit(65 in a 55) and slowly moving ahead of the traffic in the right lane(s), I always seem to have people running up my ***.
I don't need to be traveling @75 mph in a 55 mph speed zone even in the so called "fast lane". The best part of it all is after these idiots pass all traffic, I find them pulled over by the State Trooper, several miles up the hiwy.
For every speeding ticket people are getting in NYS, I hear them saying/complaining that it cost them $400.00-$600.00. Yeah OK so, keep riding my bumper idiot!
