I've pretty much taken that attitude while driving everywhere in the world.

***A pick up truck crossing the Chitty-Chatty bridge
***A person stating they always drive in the RB outside lane to make the 270 left hand turn because HE thinks it's safer.
***A person who leaves Evans after playing golf in a regular cart, goes out the entrance to the RB and then down EP trail because they live there and it's shorter than going up to the tunnel
***And my favorite, a guy who posted he always drives 30 mph in the left lane of the 45 zone on 466 because HE thinks it's "fast enough"

But now we have a new one, perhaps because it's a double whammy: A regular golf cart on Morse, comes through the Hillsborough/Moyer Loop RB, then enters Moyer on the one way entrance lane the wrong way. Words do not do the visual justice.

As a biker on the multi-modal paths, I have met a car and a motorcycle.

Ho Hum didn’t read any of the posts here , but I already know that it’s full of perfect villages drivers complaining about all the imperfect drivers who cause so much chaos and mayhem that they see everyday on our streets I’ve lived here for a long time and also travel outside the bubble quite a lot , the villages is the best place I’ve ever driven , I just put on my Mad Dog radio sports talk or some real jazz and cruise along couple of miles over speed limit in the right lane and no problem , cuts down on most of the anxiety suffered by many of the perfect drivers on here

Let me get this straight: Some bozo, yes BOZO, posts that he intentionally drives 30 mph in the left lane of a 45 zone because he and he alone believes that is fast enough. What does that have to do with rain/fog/heavy traffic or the 30 or 40 feet of snow we get each year on CR 466? What does that have to do with "hurrying" The point is that our elected representatives made a law stating the speed limit is 45 on that road. No one individual gets to rewrite his own version of that law, much less enforce it by becoming a one car road block.

Unfortunately he seems to be getting away with being a one man speed limit boss.
