Apparently around 10 or 10:30am there was a call put out for all seniors to get in their cars and head for the highways. I ran an errand this morning and on the way home got stuck repeatedly behind some bad driver doing anywhere from 5-15mph under the speed limit. While 5mph might not seem like much, realize that it’s mid-morning, the freeway is clear of heavy traffic, and most motorists are doing 5-10mph over the speed limit.

When I finally managed to catch a break and was able to cut over into the next lane to pass (waiting rather impatiently while the rest of traffic blew past me doing 70+) inevitably it was an elderly driver I glared at. This includes the lady who refused to accelerate past 40mph all the way up the freeway on-ramp; despite the fact that the on-ramp was completely straight and went for at least 150 meters. She’s still doing 40 for all I know, as when I finally swerved over a lane and joined traffic doing 65 she was still doing 40.
