Rant

Okay, I don't know where ya'll live but where I live there's one highway that takes you everywhere you need to go. When I go to my internship it usually takes around 30 minutes and I have two stoplights that I go through. Now, shortly after breaking up with Kindred I decided to better myself. One way I did this was by stopping my habit of speeding while driving. I've always been the type of person who's trying to get where I'm going and no lallygagging. I realized this was reckless and unnecessary because I "usually" give myself plenty of time to get where I need to be. I've been at my internship for seven months now and haven't been late once.

Here comes the rant...use the cruise control people! I understand that this is not always possible especially in high-traffic areas. However, out here on the peninsula it is more than possible, it's beneficial. This is more directed to those who refuse to do the speed limit. For those speeders...I understand. I used to be just like you. Though you should probably slow down, it isn't up to me to tell you otherwise. Beside, as long as I'm behind you and you're speeding, I can comfortably set my cruise control on the speed limit and enjoy my drive.

It's more the inconsistent drivers that "drive" me crazy (ha ha, I love puns!). You're way up ahead so I set my cruise control on the speed limit. The next thing I know I'm tailgating you and having to go back to the gas pedal. Then the next minute you're back up to speeding and I set it just to get right behind you again a moment later. These are the people who would best set the cruise control. If you cannot keep a consistent speed, please move over for those who can.

If everyone set their cruise for the speed limit there would be no problems. Everyone would be evenly spaced between each other and cruising at the legal limit. Of course, I understand this is not probable. I guess this is just one of those, "my way is better" kind of moments.
