I suppose most of the contributors to net.auto were driving long
before the national speed limit came into effect.  Not me.  I have my
various reasons for never driving over 60.  So if I stay in the
fast lane driving, say, one mile over or under the speed limit,
tough shit to the speeders.  _I'm_ not breaking the law.  If there
are so many people set on speeding, they can change the laws, right?

Self-righteous crap, you say?  Is your house burning down?  No?
Then slow down.
