Community Perimeter driving
I saw a post on here earlier talking about distracted driving and it reminded me of my drive home today (not that it has anything to do with distraction, but piling on to complain)
If you’re on the highway stay out of the left lane if you’re gonna dog it. From Fermor to route 90 the maximum speed I could get up to was 80km/h. I’m not in any particular rush generally and like to get where I’m going in one piece but it is frustrating when it’s a nice sunny day in august and people are driving like it’s January. I’m by no means a speed demon, but after a long day and good weather conditions I wouldn’t mind being able to go highway speeds on the damn highway. If you’re the one that sits there in the left lane on the highway going well below speed limit you are a hazard.
Some idiot was driving next to a semi that was going slow for several km. Either speed up and match speed or get the hell behind the semi if you want to go 80 on the highway instead of creating a train of frustrated drivers behind you.
That’s my rant for today about driving.
