why is everone in a hurry? :rant:

On my way to work this morning it seemed like everyone was late for something. I'm doing 2-3 over the speed limit (60 MPH) in the middle lane and literally everyone is passing me from both sides. I even get the occasional jerk-wad that will come up from behind and zoom around to pass me. I used to "brake check" that person, but I've grown out of that. Now I just set my cruise control and enjoy the extra gas mileage I get by not doing 70 MPH.

Rant

Try doing the speed limit and watch how crazy everyone is.

RE: why is everone in a hurry? :rant:

I hear that
Whenever I drive my truck people always seem to tailgate me and almost run into me at stoplights because I don't drop the clutch and take off from every stop. Its getting really old that I feel like I had to haul ass everywhere I go just so I can feel safe driving and not worried about being rear ended

Texas is about the same, which is why I appreciate working 'til 11 PM: I am blessed with driving 16 miles at night, where I can chill at 55 (limit is 60) in far right lane without much intervention.
