I try to save fuel by driving fifty-five. I stay in the right hand
lane, signal all my moves, even signal a passing truck when it is
clear to move over. I make every effort not to get in anyone's way or
hold up traffic. I leave early enough so that I don't need to speed. I
leave good space from the car ahead. Still. there is always a car on
my rear bumper at any speed, and one almost touching my rear bumper at
stops. Often cars speed past me at high speeds, then I catch up any
way. In my area speed limits have been raised on some roads, even
though we are being asked to save fuel. I see people using their cell
phones, even while driving in a shopping center parking lot. At
traffic lights on city streets I don't move too close to the corner so
that anyone making a left turn from my right has room to turn. What
ever happened to driving courses? Or even courtesy?
