Driving in Minnesota on rural roads and driving in the Northeast, how are the two different?
And each reader asks, what? There are too many people in the Northeast. Even in a lower density region of mid Maine there was a recent 140 vehicle pile up. Truckers and SUV drivers flying as conditions (visibility and road surface) became horrible.
I observed a first ever event yesterday. I picked up my charge at Logan airport and started driving south on Route 1A and Rt. 1. Out of 800 vehicles one or maybe two were driving Boston stupid. The other 798 were going 30mph on the terrible freshly snow covered roads. Speed limits were 40 and 45. All 798 were keeping a driving cushion behind the car ahead. Yes some did not have headlights on but my grade was a strong A- for most.
The 140 car pile up in Maine was the Maine stupid for those who have been told for 22 years to drive at a speed for the conditions. Mercedes up on the center median with a dumb look and cell phone out. The Press Herald photo was of a women but numerous 30, 40 and 50 year old men do the same.
So ends my editorial comment. And two of the Psalms conclude AMEN and AMEN.
Do you enter an intersection on a red light often? You are not that important. See above.
