SBDrvr: I appreciate that you're attempting to educate us, however it's safe to assume that the majority of forum members are all seasoned drivers. I've been driving for over 30 years, I am familiar with the laws and get this I have a fairly clean record. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/closedeyes.gif[/img] As an individual, I don't have to agree with the laws, but that's s whole other topic. I find it interesting that you're defending the drivers that's impeding the flow of traffic. I've seen on many occasions were a slow driver came close to causing an accident and they should've been ticketed. If they would just yield to the right, there wouldn't be a problem.
We all have different ways of dealing with rude drivers and stress in general. I'm glad that you're unaffected by careless driver - good for you. I used to live in SB and it's a lot more laid-back then L.A. or even Ventura Co. Try commuting in grid-lock traffic everyday for a few months - I bet you'll be singing a different tune. I grew up in L.A. and don't miss the traffic and careless drivers.
re: speed; one night I wanted to see how the car felt at 140, (of course there were no other cars on the highway). I have a car that's designed to cruise at that speed safely, I'm not affecting anyone else and I saved time getting home - I don't see a down side. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif[/img] If a driver is on a wide-open highway with good visibility, I feel it's illogical to restrict speed to a slow 65mph. Coincidentally the German's feel that way too...
