Some driving advice.

The Q.E.W. is one of the busiest highways in North America.

Every once in a while I drive that way to work to remind myself why I don't drive that way to work.

Some observations and advice from my most recent trip:
  • YOU in the Beemer: HANG UP AND DRIVE!
  • YOU in the Honda: This is not Formula 1 and you are NOT Micheal Shumacher.
  • YOU in the Acura: The on/off ramps are not your personal passing lanes.
  • YOU in the Buick in the left lane: either pass the guy on your right or get behind him. Geeze dude, you're holding up everyone behind you.
  • YOU in the Audi: Flash me one more time and you'll get a face full of my spotlight. If the Buick would pass I would too. This isn't the Autobahn, Gunther.
  • YOU in the SUV: BACK OFF! Your headlights are the same height as my back window and your blinding me!
  • YOU in the Gravel Truck: Your following that Smart Car too close, and your brake lights are too dirty to see.
  • YOU in the Semi: That is not a Honda your piloting, Skeeter! Pick a lane!
  • YOU in Olds: The limit is 100, not eighty. If you can't get it up to speed, get off.
  • YOU in the overloaded construction pick-up: Get a second truck or a trailer. Idiot.
  • EVERYONE: Leave enough space and we wouldn't have those daily chain reaction rear enders that slow down every other decent driver.
There, I feel better now.

See you on Highway 5.

Hey...

The speed limit here at Kandahar Airfield is 16Km/h. The US allows us to travel at a whopping 20Km/h on the 2.1Km of paved roads...

So Get smart Ontario, or well reduce you to this speed all over the Queen's Highways..

I have 2 bumper stickers,

'I'm sorry for driving so close in front of you'

' Watch out for the idiot behind me'
