Ron sent me this video of a modern granny. Caution! NSFW! Language.
When she talks about the two slow drivers side by side, she should be talking about one truck passing another when one is going one MPH faster than the other and it takes five miles to accomplish it backing up traffic for ten miles.
BTW, Georgian drivers are some of the worst for driving slow in the fast lane.
Ron in Ohio Sez:
Actually Denny, I thought Granny Potty mouth was talkin’ ’bout Ohio drivers. When I was still working here and had to drive 9 miles into town the first 6 miles were always behind drivers doing 15-20 mph under the limit. When we hit the city limits and a 35 mph speed limit, they’d speed-up to 45 mph and not even slow down in a school zone with kids all around. Frickin’ Idiots!
I thought Granny was talking about Wisconsin. Having driven around 1.5 million miles in my lifetime, I could write a book but it would be considered sexist and racist and ageist(is that a word?).
If a minivan is in the left lane on an interstate highway the is a 95% chance it’s a woman. The distance of the top of the head below the head rest is directly proportional to the speed (slow) of that automobile. Asians average speed on interstates, side streets, alleys, and parking lots is 27 MPH In parking lots, the desired distance from the front door is inversely proportional to the weight of that person. I could write a book…
I drive the speed limit in the right lane when on a highway. However on a single lane road I drive the speed limit and piss-off 90% of the assholes in big SUV/P.U.-trucks.
I’ve concluded that besides these turds being hyper, “I’m the center of the fucking universe”, shitheads the real reason they tailgate me is the fact that I’m ahead of them. No matter even if I do 90-mph in a 35-mph zone they’d tailgate me because in their pea-brained, retarded, shithole brains I’m better than them because I’m ahead of them. That really rots their socks. Fuck ’em I know I’m better and they can eat my exhaust. Mental midget douchebags need to run into a tree and die.
Pretty much what Ron in Ohio said.
Here in the great state of West By God Virginia the Buckeyes in Winnebagos drive 10 mph under the speed limit in the fast with their blinker on for miles and miles.
Noted that when we lived in West (By God) Virginia in 2004. The I-70 West Virginia T-P was ALWAYS clogged-up by Ohio license plates.
We got em here in Kansas too. One just as bad are the folks who live in outskirts of town developments. I have several of those between me and the highway, and every day we have pedestrians who want to saunter down the center of the lane. Right now we have a bunch of construction traffic, and these idiots have come close to getting run over several times. The speed limit on a gravel road is 55 in Kansas. These people think we should be doing 20.
The developments have paved streets and side walks, but these people want to walk down the dirt roads.
Anymore, when I see them, I make sure I am doing a full 55 as I go by. Hope they enjoy the dust. Normally I cruise the gravel at 35 – 40.
I-80 westbound from Omaha to Sacramento has that truck problem. One mph faster than the five he is passing. Two counties later he only has two left to pass.
I’m finally going to win(?) one! Freakin Okies!
