Random Thoughts
Okay...so here is how I think...the world according to me :)
Why is it that people think it's okay to speed, but it's not okay to pass in a no-pass zone? Prime example: 600 E in Hancock County is pretty much no-pass from Morristown all the way to 40 with the exception of a few miles. The posted speed limit is 45 mph. On the weekends, it happens quite often that there is someone out for their Saturday drive. They're meandering along...not paying attention to the speed (they are driving 30 mph) and you are stuck behind them for what seems like an eternity because it's a no passing zone. You pray at every intersection, "Lord, please make this person turn!" After miles of them not turning, you decide the prayer is pointless and while you are a patient person, you finally give in and pass them. What's worse: that you passed the slow-poke in a no passing zone or that you sped up to drive 55 mph once around them?
Case closed...more random thoughts to come.
Disclaimer: The story above is hypothetical...of course, I would never do something like that... ;)

To add to your thought, how about when you are stuck behind that slow-poke, and you DON'T pass them in a no passing zone, but as soon as that person turns, you say "(sigh)FINALLY!" and then you speed up to about 58 mph.
Of course this is not something that I have ever done ;)
