Thanks Tag. I think it's a good reminder to everyone to slow down a little.

It's a shame that, anymore, it feels like a "mad rush" whenever you're on the road. :( Today, there seems to be too many speeding, inconsiderate, and rude drivers on the roads. :(

Relating a personal experience, after my recent return from Fla., where I spent two days driving home, I noticed (at least it seemed to me) that there seemed to be a little more "give and take" on the highway the farther south I traveled. People used their signals, noone tried to run you over as you merged into the passing lane, people actually slowed and made space for you to merge, no horns, etc.. Since arriving home, I've tried a little "experiment", following the speed limits, always using my signals, and basically just relaxing behind the wheel. I've found the rides to be more enjoyable, safer, and I arrive within a minute or two of the ________'s who drive with reckless abandon.

Life's too short people. When behind the wheel, take a deep breath, relax a little, and drive responsibly, (re; do the speed limit, show some consideration to fellow drivers, etc.) and I believe we'll all get more enjoyment out of our commutes and be alot more safer.
