How do you know if the slow car in front of you is coasting or choking? During my commute today, as I conscientiously managed an appropriate distance between myself and others, I was startled by a very slow moving vehicle ahead of me. What is this guy doing?! (my immediate thought is always a "guy?!" while my husband usually says "lady!?"...). Is he stalled or wrecked? As I passed him, I realized that he was coasting!
OK, if my initial assumption is that there is surely something wrong with that slow-moving vehicle - I can only imagine what the Non- happy-speeder thinks when he happens to find himself behind me. This experience reminded me why I started this blog. If that coasting car had a sign that alerted me to his happy speeding state, my reaction would have been to coast along behind him. Instead, I wasted gas by changing lanes to go a little faster,to brake harder, and to end up one car ahead of him at the next jam. When will I ever learn...
