Made a 300 mile round trip run to KCI yesterday.....steady rain the whole way. Safe speed was max of 70 mph. Got passed by plenty of drivers doing 90 plus. If you were in their way, would get inside 10 feet on your bumper......from which they could see nothing but road spray till you got out of their way (tailgating at 70 mph is a dead man's folly).
At one point, looked back and young man in a red car was weaving in and out of traffic. Got impatient and eventually passed 3 cars on a long entrance ramp, and when he pulled back into traffic, cut somebody off to then cut across two lanes of traffic to get past a couple more cars. Eventually got boxed in behind and beside a pair of trucks. All his antics gained him 10 seconds on me over the course of 3 or 4 miles.
Driving in any urban setting has now become a NASCAR event. Not uncommon for folks to drive at least 30 mph over any posted speed limit......and tailgate anybody else who doesn't. Don't wish any of them harm, but when they die or get seriously injured, they get what they deserve.

Gees Mo, you were in the midst of a mass suicide attempt, that’s all.
