all kinds of rage we seem to have in this world, road might be the most powerful
distructive one. anyway I'm stuck on the right side of the road even on my bike and
you would'nt believe all the speeders and crazy a$$es that hang out on that side to pass,?
why? anyway its nuts. i get zipped and quite use to it, but just wish the would stay more towards
the middle of lane along with it we have 3 lanes, do you really need to hug the right side if you
in a hurry? I get this all the time.. I watch people act nuts and just wish they would leave me to
myself.
Here in Vegas almost every road is 45 mph, that seems what high since most all do like 10 over the limit
just past couple days this mad man drove into 12 people on the strip just because.. RAGE?? yup sad..
cars can be like guns if used wrong..

When I worked in The Netherlands, I discovered that Germans say that
the NL sticker on the back of Dutch cars stands not for Netherlands but
for "Nur Links," in English "Only Left." That is, the Dutch drive in
the left lane too much to suit the Germans. And when German tourists
stop to ask Dutch kids for directions, they might reply "I'll tell you
if you give my dad's bicycle back."
