Slow down to save money, but not in the passing lane

With gas prices rising, gas-saving advice abounds: Drive more gently,
slow down. It may be a great advice, but only thing is, please only
slow down in a slower lane. Do not drive too slowly in a passing lane.
Otherwise it becomes a self act, the potential conflict with those who
do not necessarily believe this is a wise tip (and who is not speeding
either) might cost you more than the savings.

We've gone thru this before, stupid.  As long as you're doing exactly
the speed limit you have the right and an ethical obligation to sit in
the passing lane and thereby force the deadly and gas guzzling
speeders to obey the law too.

miles.Better have your life insurance paid and your will up to

and he would also ruin the tires of MANY other road users.

More likely,he would not get the tailgating truck,but others not involved
at all. Semi-Truck tires are a lot tougher than passenger car tires,and
they have a lot more of them;dualies at each wheel.

But I suspect it's just boastful bragging;just blather.

no,those are "spike sticks".
"Caltrops" are the IED/homemade econo version of spike sticks.
In ye olde times,they were 3 nails welded together crosswise so that no
matter how they landed,the pointy end would stick up and puncture your
horse's feet or your car's tires,like strewing roofing nails on the
roadway.

"Speeders & Drunk Drivers Are MURDERERS," advocates
driving a car with half of its braking system inoperative:

"If you drive slow and supplement the front brakes with
transmission braking, you'll be fine -  as long as the

drive slow."

Wrong. Like usual.

You're batting a thousand, speedie. You are so consistently wrong,
that it defies probabilities....

In fact, you're probably BREAKING the law since most takes have Keep
Right Except to Pass laws.

Mike, your advice is spot on. Pay no mind to speedie. That numbnutz
bats 1.000 in the department of being wrong.

S&DDAM admits to putting others in danger with its beater:

"Foot pumps are a joke. I had one once and since the piston only moves like
2 inches it took 50 pumps to raise the pressure by one psi.  Go with the
hand pumps where the piston moves  around 15 inches. One of my tires has
exposed cords and i have to pump it up every week. "
