Dear Sir,
I wish to complain on the stronglyest possible terms about the previous thread in
this fine webpage about the women who can't drive. Some of my best friends
are women, and only a FEW of them are lousy drivers.

Yours faithfully,
Brigadier Mrs. Charles Arthur Strong, Talking on the cellphone and drinking coffee while driving my SUV.

move at the speed of traffic or take a bus.

driving signifigantly below the speed limit is just as much of a safety hazard as driving signifigantly above it.

guess they don't have speed minimums on highways in jolly old england.

My grandmother had a charge like this for going 25mph on the interstate. Her excuse was 'it was raining.' I heard that was a hilarious day in court.

Back when I watched TV newsmagazines I saw an episode about Virginia traffic police. The reporter rode along with an officer who stopped some German guy for speeding. Said native of the autobahn couldn't imagine what was wrong with driving 70 miles per hour. Angry at his ticket he drove off at 35, well under the limit, and was ticketed again for reckless driving for being too slow.

U. S. American Interstates have a minimum speed. Usually 45. Do the Brits have one?

My sister was going to be cited for going 30 on I-55. Dad was trying to teach her to drive. She cried and the cop let her off.

I don't even think my car idles at 10 MPH... I can't imagine trying to drive on a highway at that speed! Imagine being a passenger in that car, it would be scary as hell!

So the "News; Fark" headlines, do they really do it for anyone else? I mean, I would prefer the headline be succinct and stick to the details of the story that make it post-worthy here, rather than summing up the "news" part as well.

But I guess it gets greenlit at a pretty high rate. Whatever.

There she is
There is Slow Racer
She's a snail on wheels
She's a snail and he's gonna be gettin in the way of someone.

You're coming up on her so you better look alive.
She's busy revvin' down and braking the Mach 5.

And when the odds are against her
And there's dangerous work to do
You bet your life Slow Racer
Will take it nice and slow.

Go Slow Racer
Go Slow Racer
Go Slow Racer, slow!

She's off and getting passed by a box turtle
She's jammin' down the brake like she'll never cross this hurdle
Adventure's waitin' just ahead.

In some states (Virginia being one) it is illegal to do the speed limit in the left-hand lane if traffic is going significantly faster.

If she has a driving anxiety she should just get a motercycle and ride wherever she goes.

vygramul: In some states (Virginia being one) it is illegal to do the speed limit in the left-hand lane if traffic is going significantly faster.

Doesn't Virginia also have those absurd traffic fines? Something like $5000 tacked on if you're some amount over the limit. I think I'm picking up on a correlation.

\Damned if you do.
\\Damned if you don't.
