Not only do they think the speed limit is suppose to be the minimum speed, they tail gate cars going 60 mph and over in the left lane. All kinds including woman with children in the cars, speeding and tailgating at high speeds while talking on the phone as well as texting.
You should see them, where it says reduced speed at Cole Park Plaza intersection. (45mph) They can not seem to compute it in their little brains. Now, can you all imagine these same drivers with one or more drinks in them.
The shame of it is, when you go the speed limit AND stay in the right lane, you risk these morons rear ending you because they are not paying attention to what they are doing.
You have to ask yourself why they are doing it. Not because they get were ever they are going faster as with each light, there they are. Its because there are no consequences and they have a total disregard for others on the road. There is a large dump truck that constantly runs the red stop light turning north onto 15-501 at the corner of the Harris-Teeter shopping center in the am. One of these days, he is going to do it to someone who is texting and doing 70mph. Have seen cars swing around him making the cars in the left lane have to brake. This is the norm. Sad isn’t it, when we have an oil problem and oil men who love to take advantage of people wasting this counties resources to up the price of gasoline. Why not make a profit off stupidity.
