Two Lane Texas Country Road...Wife Says...

"Nicely Done," as we blast past an 18 wheeler and 4 cars lugging along at 51 in a 65!

Grin inducing 51-120 blasts in 67 degree weather is the culmination of a Texas Spring.

51 in a 65 is absurd. I would have been pissed.

I think everyone that doesn't drive within at least 5 mph of the speed limit should get off the road.

Or at least move to the far right lane, take public transportation or hire a driver.

I agree but what I dont get is why they wont just move over and let you pass. Apparently they are in no hurry if they are driving that slow.

haha, I plan on getting one of those LED license plates that display messages that I type up in front

"move over next time A$$hole!"
or in nicer terms,
"move your snail sh!t to the side of the road!"

well ok, I guess those are a bit mean, maybe:

"next time move over please?"
hmm...too nice...

well think of something...


Fort Bend Toll Road has been fun, but I occassionally see the 5-0s

Hardy havn't tried, but Sam houston Beltway is CHUNKED with them!

It is actually illegal in PA to drive 10 or 15 mph below the posted speed limit, i would imagine other states have similar traffic code.

Definitely. However in this case, TiAg said it was a two lane road. So no can do there.
