Why is it that people are always giving me dirty looks when they pass me on the
highway and I'm driving 60 in a 55 MPH zone? I get irritated and angry EVERY TIME some jerk tailgates me and flashes his/her brights fo rme to move over justbecause I don't have a TOTAL DISRESPECT for the LAW and I don't want to drive
75 just to get the hell out of their way!
The scariest thing is.... NOBODY cares! Sure, it's a piddly thing.... who caresabout the speed limit, there are more important things to focus energy on.
Nobody thinks it's dangerous to drive 70 in a 55, so why shouldn't we???
Question: Are we ALL experts in determining the safe speed limitations requiredon the roads we drive? Does passing the Drivers Ed class and getting a license
guarantee instant expertise on road conditions and speed/velocity/gravity
equations? I think NOT! The speed limits are LIMITS for a reason!
Does everyone think that the DOT knows nothing and that the drivers on the raod
should be able to drive as fast as THEY want to? Sometimes I think that the
grandpa in front of me driving his FORD Fairlane and myself are the only ones
on the road with any respect for the law and the police that enforce such limitson society.
Maybe the speeders of the world all think it's OK to help themselves to a few
free penny candies at 7-Eleven whenver they want? After all, what's the BIG
DEAL??? Unless you get caught, nobody really cares.
What does this trend towards disrespect mean for the future? If we don't obey
the law, what will our children think? Are the rules really rules, or are they
subject to your own discretion? What kind of message is this to the future
youth of America?
The fabric of our society is dwindling. It is commonly accepted to break the
law. What's next?
Let me guess....... about 20 responses to this posting all flaming me for being
a tightwad. "Loosen up, there are more important things to worry about."
I'm probably the BAD GUY, since I still remember how to follow the rules. Well
EXCUSE ME for respecting the speed limit, and FLAME AWAY! I'm waiting....
