And saw no RV's broken down or along the side of the road with flat tires. None!
Maybe the word is finally getting out, that 60-65 mph is the RVer's sweet spot! Maybe places like these forums is working! Maybe folks are listening. Maybe we just got lucky and didn't encounter any idiots for once!
Amazing, semi-trucks were driving around 65 also (many passed us, but did not go zooming by!)
But I've noticed, folks STILL do not respect work zones.
True story in the news in Indianapolis right now. A semi truck rear-ended an unmarked police car in a work zone. Sent the Indianapolis Police Officer to the hospital in very serious condition.
