Doing the speed limit
This past Saturday, I had a 60 mile drive to Plymouth for a meeting at 10am. Should have taken about 80 minutes according to Google and, since I left the house at around 8am I knew I had plenty of time to get there so I decided to drive at the speed limit and no more. Wow. What a pleasant and low pressure drive. I could look around at the scenery and not worry about speed traps.
On the way home, this was much harder to do. There was probably twice the traffic. People don’t like you going “slow” even in the slow lane. I tried but I did have to speed up some times. Studies suggest that keeping up with traffic is safer then doing the speed limit. Who am I to argue?
Later…
