Go Left
There are times on my freeway commute to work that I can actually drive the speed limit; and a lot faster. In an effort to conserve fuel, I try to stay under 65mph.
I have at times caught myself doing above 90 in Bella and not even realizing it. So I set my cruise control. This morning, it was set at 62, three miles per hour under the speed limit, and hopefully saving some fuel. I was in the far right hand lane.
Mr. White Trash Lumber Jack Shirt in a piece of shit SUV was one foot behind me, yelling, swearing, and waving his hands for me to speed up. Literally one foot. Had I been in my old car, I would have slammed on the brakes and we would both be in the hospital. But I love Bella too much.
I wasn’t driving 62 to obey the law. I view the speed limit as a “guide,” unless I am in a school crossing or residential zone. Kind of like the Utah sodomy law. It is there, but does anybody really abide by it? (Well, I currently do, but not by choice.)
So go around me asshole. Stop yelling and screaming and being an idiot. I know this is Utah, but you don’t have to be to the far right all the time. It is okay to move to the left, even if only on the freeway.
while it uses your gas up a bit more, it will use more of an SUV drivers… try this next time..
comply! speed up! let the bastard speed up too and think they’ve got you manipulated. then.. ease off the gas and coast back down to your original speed. and then do the shampoo thing: rinse and repeat until the driver behind you is frothy.
“Belgium Coolly” was my word verification today. Sounds like a drink. speaking of…
