I'm digressing from the original speeding content of the OP but two things happened today that made me wonder how some people make it through the day; 1st - my wife and I were on the mmp in between Old Mill Run and Ternberry Forest Dr. heading to Palmer. We stopped at TFD to let a car enter the gate. Car #1 swiped his card, the gate comes up and he sits there. He decides to go as the gate starts down but stops before crashing through the gate. Meanwhile, car #2 pulls up and swipes her card; car #1 goes on through the gate and car #2 starts forward and here comes the gate down. She stops without crashing through and - you guessed it, here comes car #3. Finally, car #3 has enough sense to swipe his card to let car # 2 through and then swipe it again for him to go through; it was like watching the movie Groundhog Day.

2nd - on the same mmp coming from the tunnel under Stillwater Trail, two women were STANDING in the oncoming lane in the 1st curve by Mallory carrying on a conversation and a bicyclist swerves to avoid them and I have to lock it up to avoid hitting him. My wife screams at the two idiots to get off the path and all they could go was throw their hands up while oncoming carts were having to stop to keep from hitting them.

How do some people make it through the day?
