Quit Pokin' Along, People!

Seriously, nothing upsets me more than a slow driver who doesn't care what traffic is doing around him or her. There's a speed limit, multiple lanes, signs saying, "Hey you, ya you, if you're gonna drive slow, get out of the way!"

But do slow driver listen, no. And why would they? There doesn't seem to be any consequences for slow drivers. WRONG! In the fantabulous State of California where the Terminator is Governor, 22350 CVC allows officers of the law to stop any vehicle traveling at a speed unsafe for traffic conditions. Doesn't say you have to be traveling too fast. In fact, this section could just as easily apply to you slow folks poking along in the fast lane, stacking up the traffic behind you. And don't think it's beneath CHP to redlight you over to the right shoulder for a driver evaluation.

It's common sense people. If you're not gonna travel with the flow of traffic, don't create your own flow, get out of the way and lets us folk who want to drive, drive. Is that so terribly difficult?

I shouldn't think so, and yet, slow drivers abound, disturbing the natural flow of things on the freeway.

Just another tidbit from the Traffic Guy.
