The happy couple is on their way home from work, slowly but surely making their way through rush-hour traffic. A few miles down the road, traffic starts crawling. Before long, they are moving at a maximum speed of 5 miles an hour. They can see up ahead - on a high section of the interstate - the traffic moving freely there. What's up? There must be a wreck ... or construction. Something must have happened to hold up traffic.
About 15 minutes pass ... and you realize what has ground the flow of traffic to a halt. No wreck. No new construction. An empty pickup truck is sitting off the side of the road. It's not in the way. Just sitting there. Getting lots of attention from ... STUPID DRIVERS!!!
HELLO PEOPLE? Why are we slowing down to look at an empty truck. DO YOU NOT realize that your slowing down for just a few seconds means that every car behind you has to slow down. What's the big attraction? :banghead: This happens all the time. Everywhere. Traffic is slow - and it's usually something stupid that people are slowing down to look at. Why do we feel the need to slow down and look at cars on the side of the road? Why do we feel we need to slow down and look at the state trooper who has pulled someone over? Just drive, already. There's enough slow traffic already with the constant construction ... we don't need idiots slowing down to look at every dorito wrapper on the side of the highway. :yell:
See here for some driving thoughts from Christie ...
when i see a cop that already has someone pulled over, i usually go faster - that means he's too busy to pull me over ;)
