You can't fix stupid

[usmohls2]

Had to take a road trip by car last week. A Prevost MH towing a 7 series BMW 4 down passed me like I was parked. I sped up just to see how fast He was going. Twenty seven MPH over the speed limit! That right,102 miles per hour! If the driver of the Prevost reads this post, I want to give you two thumbs down!!!

If someone is driving like that on the same highway that I am on then I think that it would be my business.

Fransesca Knowles X 2 and safety is everyones business.

May I add to this what I saw this weekend?

A 1/2 ton truck towing a 3-axle Aisteam trailer which looked liked a minimum 35 feet in length...add this to your list

It may be your business Francesca & Ray but it's not mine. If you want to make it your business, go for it. As for me, I have enough on my plate already. I'm not going take on your "stuff" also.

I happen to think calling someone else out as "Stupid" is worse then the crime.

But maybe that's due to my Mother's having been passed by a speeding vehicle one fine morning, and in the next moment she saw the within-the-speed-limit pickup he next slammed into from behind (at "only" 80mph or so) go sailing straight across the freeway right in front of her. It tumbled fifty feet down a bank to land upside down on some railroad tracks. The driver of the struck vehicle and her 12 year old son were killed.

So, yeah- it IS our business!

Right on!! Some drivers do not care about their safety or any one else's safety.

We should all take this to heart!

Why should his speed bother you.
Were you going the speed you wanted?
Did he do something dangerous to you?

"Only" 27 mph over?

If that happened in your home state of California, that's 47 mph over the towing speed limit of 55mph!

I guess if you can afford the fine, the laws are not as important to respect.

On the bright side, he must have his towing rig set up well 🙂
