and he does not consider the extra cost of hotels , food , etc ., not to mention the hazard to others . On that long trip it means an extra day on the road .
He is actually a very kind hearted soul , but thinks ‘differently’ than most folks .
When I used to travel a lot , by highway , I would see his type out in the fast lane on cruise control , at exactly the speed limit , and could see the rage building as cars backed up behind , mile after mile . All it would take was a truck in the slow lane at the same speed traveling side by side for miles .
I tend to travel just a few mph over the limit , but in the slow lane on three lane Interstates . which is surprisingly often empty . I may have to ease off if I have to , due to merging traffic at interchanges , but the steady pace often means I make more miles per day than those who are darting in an out to ‘go faster’. I sometimes recognize those vehicles pulling into the same hotel parking lot to register after I have checked in , cleaned up , and am ready to find nearby food at the end of the day .
