Would I be alone here in having the opinion that speeding just isn't worth all the work and hassle and stress?
Having to be constantly on edge and looking out for the speed traps and getting caught up in the dreaded "Accordian" of vehicles racing to speed up and then slamming their brakes on over and over? Since reaction times are less and less for the last folks in line on the accordian, the folks at the rear tend to have rear end colllisions.
Stress, edgyness, higher possiblity of accidents, expense of tickets and accidents..........
Maybe I am just becoming an old man. But I prefer life in the slow lane now. My insurance rates are about a joke too. My "kids" hate me for it compared to what they have to pay for theirs.
Yep, the trip is much more relaxing when you just sit down, set the GPS and set the cruise control and then hop in the back seat for a nap and take your time getting there.
OK, just joking about the last part.
When our kids were younger we owned a C Class RV. We tow a trailer with the bike on it to rallies. Not exactly a sports car. We'd often travel on back hiways like Route 17. We'd let folks pass us. Lots of folks would pass us. But you know what? Red lights are tthe great equalizer. Seems like we always caught up to them at the next light. If they did get there faster than we did, it wasn't by much. Slowing down meant less stress, significantly better gas mileage too. We'd enjoy the trip more.
Slowing down...... I recommend it from personal experience!
