I’ve noticed in the past few months that several cars are slowing down. Which is good for all the right reasons. I’ve even slowed down in my Big Rig from 70-73 miles per hour to 62-65 miles per hour. But, at 62 miles per hour I’ve had to slow down or go around cars going 55 miles per hour or slower in a 70 miles per hour zone. This is happening several times a day. I’d say 5 times on an average day. My concern is for the safety of these good folks doing 55 where others are doing 75 even 80. I’m wondering if there has been more cases of cars being rear ended in the past few months than ever before. If I were one of these 55 miles per hour drivers I’d consider adding some orange reflective triangles to the back bumper that you see on the back of slow moving vehicles like tractors. Maybe even some orange flag whip antennas like are on dune buggies and ATV’s in the desert. Anything to get noticed and save your life. As a person who prefers to drive at night, it is alot harder to judge the speed of a vehicle you are approaching at night. And I know there are still Truckers that do not care about their fuel consumption that will be doing 75 or 80 and come upon one of these cars doing 55 and not have time to slow down. I’m sure it happens everyday.
