Unfortunately it's not only soccer moms doing it. Especially annoying when
someone is going BELOW the speed limit in the left lane (*passing lane*), or
who likes to drive right next to another car or in the BLIND SPOT of a
tractor trailor. Sometimes people who are guilty of this are also too
intent with the conversation on their cell phone weaving back and fourth.
For these people they need to shut up and drive!

For those who think they own the road because they pay taxes, where did they
ever get the notion they were the only ones paying taxes? Hey - I pay MY
taxes too! I know there are many different people with different abilities
on the road driving many different types of vehicles.

I'm not an advocate for speeding since safety comes first. I will often go
with the quicker flow of traffic (which is normally above posted limit),
while other times I'm sitting in the middle or right lane.

If people observed greater common courtesy and common sense the roads would
be a better and safer place.... These are only my 3 cents worth. (Up from
2 cents due to inflation)

Let me get off of my soap box now....
