What's scorching your groove today?

Really Old drivers should NOT be allowed in the left lane. In fact there should be a special permit that only allows certain people in the left lane.

The old drivers of today learned to drive before there were interstates, and 55mph was fast. (Although the speedometers went to 140. I never understood that.)

Imagine what kind of trouble classic will get into when he's 85 and driving his age down the highway.

"Damn kids. Get outta my way."

I don't buy it... my dad was born in 1934, and he's been ticketed for doing 80 going through Atlanta. He can put his foot down when he feels like it

That's my theory. And if you don't like it, well, I have others.

I've got to say that i haven't noticed old people being the only ones that drive slowly in what we call the overtaking lane here. In fact, lately I've been pissed off with provisional drivers (around 19 yrs old usually) who like to just cruise in that lane.

Get the fuck outta the overtaking lane unless you're going past someone arsehole! I don't give a fuck how old you are or what sort of car you're driving. If you aren't overtaking, you shouldn't be in the right hand lane.

If you are in the left lane and people continually are on your butt you shouldn't be in the left lane. I know this from experience.

Yes, by the same token people shouldn't be comming into my slow lane passing people on the left.

I do however need to drive in the center lane just too keep my kid from sighing too much at my old lady driving which is never below the speed limit. I find myself mentioning to the passerbys that 'I' am following the legal speed limit but as they blur past me they do not seem to notice or take heed.

Being an asshole in real life is much better than being a lame human in real life but coming off as someone with a larger self esteem on the internet. Believe me. I truley wish I could be a bit beefier. IRL

I am sure if you could swap places with me your situation would not seem so bad.



What's blistering my groove? I have a major headache and eating an apple a day isn't helping with my sluggishness either.
