We have all been behind this kind of driver. A Cop finally did something about it.

Nice. But I'd be prouder if they would get tailgaters. If someone had a sudden flat and slammed
on the breaks, tailgaters would crash into them before they could safely brake. They are a real menace.

I have heard of people in the grocery store threatening "aisle rage" for people
who use their grocery carts to clog both "lanes."

Anyway, if she was too far below the speed limit, they have a ticket for that too. I don't remember the
term, but a cop once swooped down on my lane from a little hill of a side-entry street, and I was so
unnerved that I slowed down too much because I didn't actually know what the speed limit was there,
so he ticketed me for hindering the flow. I can't remember the term he actually used.)
He was just a "small-town "hero" type, more like it. Oh well.

Great name for a highway cop, "Wheeles".

I have been hoping to post something about bad drivers for a long time. The slow drivers are just as bad as the maniacs weaving in and out of lanes in heavy traffic. I am no angel by any means, but I try to obey the laws. Like when I am in a construction zone doing the speed limit and everybody and his brother are passing me by at least 15 MPH faster than me and giving me the evil eye.

When I drove a school bus, we could only go 50 mph, and many were doing 90 on the freeway.
Believe it or not, I could get where needed by using access road instead of main drag !! Whew !
We drove to a high school football game 50 miles away on the scenic country route, because
none of the drivers wanted to do I-35 !!! I followed an l8-year old driver, who was the best of the lot.
And if you wanted one of the weekly football driver privileges, you had to wait until someone died or moved!
You gotta love to drive these days !!

School bus ? I would think people got mad at you for slowing them down.

No, they just took first op to sail around me like a shark toward the kill,
and other buses as long as they had a DOT inspection could go faster.
I just got off the main "speedway drag strip" and used handy access roads.

G Good idea. Just take the test and go for it. Sorry, I don't remember if there is a book. Call the DMV and find out!

Everything is online now. They seem to have gotten out of the printing business.
