Some still live and act like they're still punching the clock, for what, I don't know!

Between tee times, class times, appointments, show times and timed activities I find I am more attached to a clock than when I was working. I’m wondering who the folks are that don’t have to be anywhere at a certain time.

I do make sure I leave plenty early. But sometimes I just don’t plan for following someone for miles at 15mph.

I'm one of those who don't have to be anywhere at a certain time but yeah there are those that go 15 or slower so ya have to go around them at a safe point. I spent my working life having to live by a clock. Since coming here I've decided that's over. I'll do as much as I want when I want.:ho:

There are a lot of bad drivers here, some in a hurry, some arrogant, some unskilled. That's a fact. You can't blame the snowbirds, but you have to recognize that the significant increase in seasonal population will result in more accidents. It's simply logical.

Same here.
The "what's your hurry" thing has been so worn out here it's ridiculous. Here's my answer: Maybe I'm in a hurry, maybe not. I have a limited number of minutes, hours, days... left on this earth. I do not care to waste a bunch of them being held up by left lane laggards, people who stop when they don't have a stop sign, and people who travel on 466 in a 45 mph zone side by side doing 30 with nothing ahead of them. If I added up how much of my time they've wasted, I'd probably start honking more.
I won't be on my deathbed saying "I wish I'd driven 30 in a 45 for the last 10 years."
If you aren't capable of driving the speed limit, you should not be behind the wheel.
