What are you thinking?

Egad! 32 mph on a perfectly straight, well-plowed and sanded stretch of two lane road. Hey, I've lost control and scared the daylights out of myself enough times on slick roads to have plenty of sympathy for you poor folks who feel the need to creep along at a snail's pace when the roads really aren't that slippery just because you're scared. Still, it isn't fair, now is it, to expect the rest of us to creep along behind you when we're OK with a more moderate speed? No, it's not. When you've got a line of cars stretching out behind you as far as the eye can see, that's a clue that if you can't work yourself up to a reasonable pace, you need to pull over and let the rest of us get on with our lives, especially when there are plenty of convenient spots for doing just that.

We don't want to scare you, we just want to get to work sometime before lunch. The poor guy in the BMW in front of me was so freaked out he put on his turn signal when he wasn't even turning. Yes, you're the judge of the right speed for you, and you need to let us be the judge of the right speed for us. Otherwise you're being incredibly selfish and rude, and you're not like that, now are you? Of course not! Just pull over for a minute, that's all we're asking. Thank you very much.
