The following story is about  an out of state driver I witnessed earlier tonight that obviously cannot read.

We had passed 2 signs that clearly stated the speed limit was 45 mph. Hell, they were at least 600 yards behind us.  No matter, this person insisted on driving 30 miles an hour in the left lane. Impeding the flow of traffic is against the law. Someone I know in another state was pulled over for it, and this person was only 5 mph under the limit.

Ok, I have to admit it. I also broke the law. I passed this person on the right. I’m not supposed to do that. Fine.

I was only doing 40, in a 45 zone. Hey, I just want to drive the speed limit, or close to it.

Instructions All Drivers Should Follow

Stay in the right lane if you want to do under the speed limit. At the same time, do not block others who need to turn right.

If you INSIST on driving 10-15 mph under the posted speed limit all of the time, please look up your local bus line and use them. First, you will save yourself money. A full day pass here is 4 bucks a day. Second, you will be doing us all, and yourself, a favor. A person scared of driving is not a good thing.

I drive because I must. I have no problem taking a bus, and I have when my car was broken down.

I’m not scared of driving by any means, it is the other drivers around me that scare me. Especially when there is a Classic Florida Thunderstorm.

Question Of The Year

What is the reason for driving 30 mph or higher in a parking lot?

Final Thoughts

Use your damn turn signals and lights, and slow drivers stay in the right lane.

The Tampa and St Pete police departments are going stop with the warnings and start ticketing people who do not use their seat belts. The ticket is $101. Your front seat passenger must also wear a seat belt.

This does not affect me or The Passenger, because we always wear our seat belts. Some people are up in arms over this though, saying it is a tax or a basis for an unreasonable search or whatever else they can come up with. Well, there is a way around this “tax”…wear your seat belt.

The Chevy Corvette

I was driving to the library to pick up The Passenger this afternoon. There was a brand new Corvette in front of me.  I really find it hard to believe that a great American company like Chevrolet could forget to put turn signals on such a beautiful car. See, the person driving the car changed lanes 3 times and made a right turn, but I did not once see a turn signal.

I have a 1990 Pontiac with over 200,000 miles on it, and my turn signal is on the left hand side.  Now, I hate math. I despise it. I do not have a math brain. The way I see it though, my car is 20 years old and the turn signals were standard. My car has power nothing. I have a basic Firebird with t-tops.

The burning question!

Fast forward 19 years or so. For those of you fortunate enough to own a 2009 or 2010 ‘Vette, can you let me know if your car is equipped with turn signals, as I’m dying to know. Thanks!

Pinellas County traffic light timing

Okay, this is getting ridiculous now. This is roughly 9:45 pm. I was on Seminole Blvd going north, with a green light at 70th Ave. I need to turn left at Park Blvd, the next signal after 70th Ave. These lights are very close together.  The speed limit is 40. I saw the left turn lights go from red, to green, to yellow, and back to red. Then I saw the regular lights go from red/green/yellow/red. In a span of 15 seconds. For all.

Keep in mind, I’m traveling the posted speed limit and I’m a short distance away from said light.

GRRRRRRRRRRRR!

I had ZERO chance to make that light. Meanwhile, the light for Park Blvd traveling east/west will stay green for 3 minutes, even if there are ZERO cars.

Whoever runs the lights around here needs to pull their head outta their ass drive the roads and see how it really is. Seriously, 5 seconds for a turn lane on a very busy road?

That said, I do know a secret to get around this problem at this time of night. I’m not telling.

Avoided something bad

I just dropped off The Passenger at home. The speed limit in her neighborhood is 25, but I was doing 15. It was a damn good thing, because a white cat ran out in front of me. If I was doing 25…

Does it mean anything if a white cat runs out in front of you? With my luck lately, I’m sure it is a bad thing.
