Too slow? Where is tommyland, anyway? People tend to average well above the speed limit in the real world. Dangerously so.

Not in Idaho...it seems everyone here wants to drive 20 MPH in a 35 MPH zone...no joshing! That said, I grew up in So. Cal where if you drive 80MPH on the freeway people are STILL passing you so I actually sort of don't mind driving slow around here...I have no place pressing to go anyway!

Or we could just have pitbulls sit up front with the driver. If he cuts someone off it will kill the driver and then take his car.

Doesn't bitching about illegal aliens belong in PnR ?
FWIW, the last time I got a ticket in the USA, the cop jogged up to my car and asked "You must be in a hurry -- do you drive that fast in Canada ?" ... to which I deadpanned "Nope ... if I did I would be getting passed by dumptrucks"..
It wasn't a big ticket and I wasn't going particularly fast or driving in an unsafe manner. My response was a joke, but was also true.
The officer had a good chuckle about it and agreed that trying to pigeonhole drivers by country of origin is rather ridiculous.
On the other hand, it is good to see that my master plan of clogging up the route to your office (do you really need an office to cut glass ?) is working like a charm.

Hehe yup, I can vouch for that. Slow drivers are very rarely a problem here, the problem comes from the maniacs going 90-100+, swerving back and forth between lanes, cutting people off and tailgating when there isn't enough room for them to squeeze through.
Dartful Dodger:
Old people will always be able to block any laws that will potentially stop them from driving.
Whenever one dies off there are another three to replace them.
When I am too old to change my own diaper, I'll be voting for the guy who doesn't require me to take any driving tests.
Although I’ll need to drive a grandchild with me to the polls because I probably won’t be able to see let alone read the ballot.
FrizzleFried:
If you've ever had the mis-fortune of having to take the car away from a loved one due to age, you'd know what kind of hell it is. It REALLY REALLY sucks.
