Yes, same here in the Everett - Seattle - Tacoma - Olympia corridor of I-5. Usually, though, it's just small bursts of speed because of high traffic volume most of the day. There are stretches of I-5 between Olympia and Vancouver where the posted limit is 70.In Oregon we have the maniacs doing 70mph on the freeways.
I was amazed when I came here some 20 years ago that the interstate highway speed limits were so slow. Having come from Florida where interstate highway speeds are 70 unless posted otherwise. Very pedestrian speed limits here.In Oregon we have the maniacs doing 70mph on the freeways.
Not common in this town, though most of those in that age group in this town are parents, or gainfully employed and driving company vehicles.That all sounds bad but what about those 30 to 40 year olds with very early onset dementia who mistake the gas pedal for the brake pedal and plow into to businesses from parking spots
If you Mario Andrettis come up on me, go around. You will recognize my car with these stickers on the back.Not common in this town, though most of those in that age group in this town are parents, or gainfully employed and driving company vehicles.
We do have a lot of people who refuse to drive faster than 45-50 in 55 zones on clear, dry days
Oh yes. Another thing. People who won't pass the slow drivers at all, causing a train of irate driversIf you Mario Andrettis come up on me, go around. You will recognize my car with these stickers on the back.

The gears may be huge, or they may be small, but plenty of things grinds themY'all are angry.
Lube usually solves that problem.The gears may be huge, or they may be small, but plenty of things grinds them
Thats what she suggestedLube usually solves that problem.
Some young whippersnapper cut me off the other day. My son was in the passenger seat, and I asked him if he was impressed that I didn't give the guy the bird and/or lay on the horn. His response: "Well, that's all good. But... technically you were the one that ran the red light."Most times, theyre the ones blowing through stop signs, turning without signalling, slowing down without brakes, cutting in front of traffic when theres at least mile of space behind the vehicle they cut off.
You could be a brother from another mother. I like the the way I learned respect for everyone from my parents. Respect from the beginning is for EVERYONE. The young, and especially my elders. And doubly for service members, Veterans, and police. That respect can be lost depending on others behaviors. That may be the problem with our country today. I refuse to act in some special way to prove I deserve respect from some of these peckerwood's. All wrapped up in their own selfish, ME-ME-ME ways.I think anyone who has the courage and character to volunteer themselves to a branch of the US military, does so honorably and with humility, and with the understanding their fellow countryman may not 'respect' them...deserves my respect.
I will actually say out loud..."Peripheral Vision, it really is a thing"People in the grocery store who park their carts right in the middle of the isle and don't move..even when they see you approaching.
No, thats for when it churns your stomach
